BREAKING: HPPH to offer COVID-19 vaccines to people 50+

Those fifty and over will soon be able to book their COVID-19 vaccine in our region.

As of Thursday, Huron Perth Public Health is expanding COVID-19 vaccine eligibility for that age group as well as those who can’t work from home and who fall under Group One of Ontario’s vaccine rollout plan.

HPPH says it will be closing their booking system, both the website and telephone, temporarily at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon for maintenance and reopening it sometime Thursday.

Those eligible will then be able to book vaccine appointments at future HPPH community clinics.

“We are making good progress with vaccinations in Huron Perth,” says Dr. Miriam Klassen, Medical Officer of Health.  “The province set a target of 40% of the eligible population aged 18 and over to have at least one vaccine dose by May 1. We achieved 39.8% coverage in Huron Perth.  I am very pleased that Ontario’s vaccine supply is increasing this month, allowing us to protect even more of our population against COVID-19.”
