Eligibility Expands for North Algoma COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics

Eligibility's expanding for North Algoma's COVID-19 vaccination clinics.

Organizers say appointments are now being booked for those who are pregnant, as well as employees and students who work directly with children in licensed child care centres and licensed home day cares.

Appointments are already open to adults 60 and older, Indigenous adults and their household members, people with certain health conditions - and one essential caregiver - adult chronic home care recipients, all education workers who provide support for students with special education needs, health care workers, faith leaders, and staff and essential caregivers in long-term care or retirement homes and other congregate settings for seniors.

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.

This comes as Public Health Sudbury and Districts has also expanded eligibility for their vaccine clinics to include licensed child care workers - it accepts bookings by phone at 1-800-708-2505, or those 60 and older can book through the province's booking website.
