The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit has been notified that it will receive more vaccines in the next couple weeks and as a result, the Health Unit has increased the number of clinics it will be offering throughout May.
Dr. Natalie Bocking Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit adds the unit has been hearing from the province for some time that Northumberland would be seeing a dramatic increase in the amount of vaccine being sent and that it appears that time is approaching.
Until the end of May, the Health Unit will be hosting 24 different mass immunization clinics in Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes as well as increasing the number of appointments available at many of those clinics.
