Starting today, the Northwestern Health Unit says child care workers in licensed child care settings are eligible to book their COVID-19 vaccine appointment.
To book an appointment, child care workers who work directly with children can call 1-833-943-3900.
“Eligible groups will be expanding quickly and I encourage child care workers to book their appointment right away to ensure they can get an appointment soon,” said Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kit Young Hoon.
As announced by the province earlier today, starting Friday April 30th anyone aged 55 years and older is eligible to book an appointment for their COVID-19 vaccine.
People in that group can book online or by calling 1-833-943-3900.
Also in the announcement the Ministry of Health stated by the end of May, all adults aged 18 years and older will be eligible to book an appointment.
“This is great news for our area, it will streamline the booking process which will increase access for our residents. We look forward to seeing everyone at our clinics in the upcoming months,” said Dr. Young Hoon
