Which vaccine available at hot spot pop-up clinics?

Does anyone know which vaccine are people getting at the hot spot pop-up clinics in Toronto, like the one at Thorncliffe park? TY!

One for Covid-19.
Flu shots are @ doctors offices and pharmacy's.

If you live or work in a hotspot, does it really matter?

Pfizer or Moderna with almost 100% certainty. Edit: this has now changed with updated guidance. Look for a "40+" next to the clinic you're going to = chance of AZ. 18+ still likely just Pfizer/moderna.

Given the recent guidance on AZ, it does not make logistical sense to have multiple types of vaccines on site when there are no demographic restrictions for the clinic. Doing so would be a logistical nightmare and disaster waiting to happen. This question has been discussed countless times already...

Astrazeneca is only in the pharmacies.

Would have thought they had Astra at Popups considering Pfizer and Moderna have more stringent storage needs and popups are less reliable in that respect.

My Mother is scheduled to go for her vaccination in an arena, she was told it was the Moderna.

She's not in the GTA, but in Windsor/Essex and she's 70+. Don't know if her postal code is considered a "hot spot" or not. I'm in Windsor and my Postal Code isn't considered a hot spot.

I'm driving her back and forth because my stupid brother scared her that "people are fainting and getting dizzy after injection". What are kid brother's for, besides to stir the pot like a moron then go out and mingle every day.

I watched 20 year old kids walk in and out with regularity as I waited in the parking lot for my Mother to come out. She says her arm is sore, that's about it.

She asked one and was told he was an essential worker.

Try signing up for your local city counselors email blasts. Mine sends out info on the status of regular & pop-up clinics which sometimes mentions which vaccines will be provided.
