Vaccination appointments will be easier to come by in Middlesex-London when the calendar flips to 2022.
In a news release sent out on Monday morning, the Middlsex London Health Unit outlined its vaccination plan for early in the new year.
“To meet the expected demand, the Health Unit will be increasing the number of days its COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Caradoc Community Centre will be operating,” the release said.
On Tuesday January 4, the vaccination clinic in Mount Brydges will be open from Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
On Thursday January 6, the vaccination clinic at the Earl Nichols Recreation Centre will re-open. That clinic was closed in early September as vaccination need slowed, but will once again be in operation from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
“Demand for the COVID-19 vaccine remains high, so with the expanded booster dose eligibility the Province announced late last week and with children under the age of 12 soon being able to receive their second dose, the need for more clinic capacity was clear,” Dr. Alex Summers, Acting Medical Officer of Health said in the news release. “Our primary goal is doing all we can to ensure the population of London and Middlesex County has the best possible protection against COVID-19 and the emerging Omicron variant.”
