GUELPH A new app to identify dangerous species of ticks, dubbed “E-Tick,” has been launched by a concerned citizens group, including team members from the University of Guelph. E-Tick allows people to submit photos of a tick which is then looked at by an expert and identified. “We provide them an automatic message back to the user in their email telling them their potential public health or veterinary risk associated with that tick species,” said Dr. Pierre Chuard, the E-Tick project coordinator. “Once you submit a tick picture in most provinces, including the weekend, you will get a quick answer.”
Local families can now preregister for COVID-19 vaccines for those aged 12 to 15.
The announcement was made via Twitter by Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health yesterday.
Earlier this week, Health Canada authorized the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for this particular age group.
By pre-registering, health officials will be able to contact you as soon as there are appointments available.
