Ravens’ Reasons Campaign

Carleton’s Ravens are sharing their reasons for getting vaccinated against COVID-19 to help encourage their community to protect themselves and others. Whether it’s playing varsity sports, meeting friends for study sessions or safely attending in-person classes, getting a safe and effective vaccine will help us return to the things we love.

Drop-in vaccination clinics are available at any community clinic, pop-up clinic, or neighbourhood vaccination hub in Ottawa.
