KITCHENER Adults between the ages of 70 and 79 can now pre-register for a COVID-19 vaccine in Waterloo Region. People in that age group will likely get a call for an appointment in four to six weeks, according to the region. The province s online booking system opened on Monday, but Region of Waterloo Public Health will continue to use its own system for the time being. Brant County, Haldimand-Norfolk, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph and Huron Perth will also continue to use their own local systems for vaccine pre-registration. Two more vaccine clinics also opened in Waterloo Region on Monday. One is a large clinic at the University of Waterloo s Health Sciences Campus in Kitchener at 10 Victoria St. South.
KITCHENER Waterloo s mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic, located at 435 The Boardwalk, is set to open Thursday. People over 80 will be vaccinated first, followed by other people who are eligible as Phase One priority populations. This is a public health-run clinic, said Cynthia Voisin of The Boardwalk Management. It is going to be run during daytime hours to start. A lot of it s going to be dictated by the amount of vaccine supply we have in the region, so they re initially starting Monday to Friday by appointment only. A Cambridge clinic will open for people over 80 on the week of March 8. That location will be announced later this week.
