Residents of Northumberland County have more opportunities to get their COVID-19 vaccine shots.
The Haliburton, Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit has announced it will be receiving more vaccine in the coming weeks, and is increasing the number of clinics available throughout the month of May.
Until the end of the month, the health unit will be hosting 24 different mass immunization clinics, including in Northumberland County.
There are also two changes in location, including the one in Campbellford which is moving to the Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club.
“We have been hearing from the province for some time that we would be seeing a dramatic increase in the amount of vaccine being sent to us and it appears that time is approaching,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit. “We have asked people to be patient and wait their turn for their chance to get vaccinated. With the province expanding the groups of people eligible to book appointments and the increased deliveries of vaccine the time is now here for more residents to book their appointments to get vaccinated.”
Health unit clinic dates and locations are listed on the agency’s website : www.hkpr.on.ca
