Over sixty percent of youth in our region have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Huron Perth Medical Officer of Health Dr.Miriam Klassen told a media call on Wednesday afternoon that over 68 percent of youth between 12 and 17 years-old have had at least one shot and over 54 percent have had two.
She says the vaccine rates are a promising sign with school set to begin on September 7th.
Dr. Klassen says other measures including screening, social distancing and wearing masks will need to be followed in order to ensure a safe return to school.
