As a health-care worker counts down from three, Joey Callaghan braces himself for his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine not at a clinic or hospital of any kind, but right outside the door to his own apartment.
Callaghan was able to get his first dose Friday through a new program from Ottawa Health Team s primary care partners table. The team makes vaccination as accessible as possible to some of the city s most vulnerable, by offering them door-to-door in apartment complexes.
