Some major changes for COVID-19 vaccination clinics locally.
Weekly mass immunization clinics in Wawa are being transitioned to a smaller clinic approach available through several local agencies, with some smaller-scale clinics to continue at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre - a walk-up clinic is being held at Wawa's Goose Nest Market from 4 to 7 this afternoon.
In turn, Wawa's central booking line has now shut down, with those looking to book an appointment now directed to call the Wawa Family Health Team, Maamwesying North Shore Community Health Services, or Algoma Public Health - those in Dubreuilville should still call the Dubreuilville Medical Centre and in White River, the Northern Neighbours Nurse Practioner-Led Clinic.
Public Health Sudbury and Districts recently announced it was making a similar move, winding down mass immunization clinics in favour of a "more flexible mobile and pop-up clinic" approach - Chapleau's next scheduled clinic is still appointment-only on August 18th, with another on August 25th.
