North Algoma's COVID-19 vaccination clinics are expanding.
Organizers say appointments are now being booked for organ transplant recipients - including patients waitlisted for a transplant - as well as certain stem cell transplan recipients, people with certain neurological diseases in which respiratory function may be compromised, hematological malignancy diagnosed less than a year ago, certain kidney disease, and essential caregivers for anyone of those categories.
The clinics are set to expand to cover those 65 to 69 years old tomorrow, and to those 60 to 64 starting May 5th.
Appointments are already open for adults 70 and older, health care workers, faith leaders, adult chronic home care recipients, Indigenous adults and their household members, education workers who provide support to students with special education needs, and staff and caregivers in long-term care, retirement homes, and other congregate care settings.
To book an appointment, call Wawa's central appointment line at 705-914-0464, the Dubreuilville Medical Centre, or White River's Northern Neighbours Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic.
