There’s still no official word on when a COVID-19 vaccine will be available here in the Northwestern Health Unit catchment area.
Medical Officer of Health Doctor Kit Young Hoon says they’re meeting regularly with the province to discuss it.
“There’s a fair bit of planning that’s happening provincially and so we’re still waiting for clear direction and guidance from the Ministry of Health on vaccine rollouts specific to our catchment area.”
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has been selected as the first site in the northwest to distribute the Pfizer vaccine.
The hospital is anticipating to receive the vaccine in the coming week.
