PHSD Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Eligibility to 18+

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is expanding COVID-19 vaccination eligibility - and speeding up second shots for another group.

The health unit says residents turning 18 or older this year can now book an appointment through the province's online booking system or by calling the health unit at 1-800-708-2505.

It further notes it now has a vaccination standby list for any remaining doses at the end of each clinic day, if you have yet to receive your first dose - the list's renewed daily, so you need to register on the health unit's website each day to stay on the list.

The health unit's also announced that urban Indigenous individuals are now eligible to receive their second dose at an interval shorter than the four month guideline for most everyone else, the latest group added to the list after "high risk" health care workers.
