COVID-19 vaccine appointments available

Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) urges the public to book their COVID-19 vaccine appointment if they are eligible. There are spots available in clinics this week in many local communities. Starting May 11, 2021 at 7:00 a.m., workers at grocery stores and restaurants, along with transportation workers and people with diabetes, dementia, and sickle cell disease become eligible to book their shot. On Thursday, anyone aged 40 years and older can book.

By getting vaccinated, you are doing your part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in our area. “Every vaccination given gets us one step closer to normalcy. When COVID-19 vaccine rates are high, infection rates should drop and businesses and schools will be able to re-open,” says Dr. Kit Young Hoon, Medical Officer of Health at NWHU.
