Huron Perth Public Health is shifting the COVID-19 vaccination strategy.
Public health is offering COVID-19 vaccination clinics in many smaller communities across Huron and Perth for the month of March. In April, Public Health expects to scale back its vaccination clinics.
As it transitions beyond April, public health hopes to ensure residents of Huron and Perth are aware of local vaccination opportunities.
Upcoming clinic dates and locations are posted at www.hpph.ca/GetVaccinated.
Vaccinations also continue to be available through select local pharmacies and healthcare providers.
Huron Perth Public Health says vaccination remains the best defence against COVID-19 and a key part of the longer-term management of the virus.
Public health warns individuals who are not vaccinated remain at much higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19.
As of February 21, HPPH and partners, had administered 292,181 vaccine doses in Huron and Perth.
While older adults in Huron Perth have very high vaccination rates, coverage among those under the age of 60 is lower compared to Ontario as a whole.
