COVID-19 vaccination clinics are expanding across the region.
Algoma Public Health says - based on confirmed allocations to Algoma for the remainder of March - it is now expanding appointment bookings to include: "highest", "very high", "high", and "moderate" priority health care workers; staff and essential caregivers in long-term care, retirement homes, and other congregate settings for seniors; Indigenous adults and members of their household; adults 75 and older; adult chronic home care recipients; and faith leaders who provide end of life care, care of the deceased, home visits to unwell persons, and pastoral care in hospitals, long-term care homes, retirement homes, or other vulnerable settings.
Meanwhile, Public Health Sudbury and Districts says it's setting sights on Phase 2 of vaccine rollout, which will see it offering vaccines to adults 75 to 79 years old, as well as individuals with certain health conditions and those who live in high-risk settings.
The health unit says it has immunized just over 12 percent of its population, with 21,388 people receiving their first dose by Monday, and 1822 fully vaccinated.
