The Northwestern Health Unit leads all of Ontario in second dose vaccination rates.
To date 46.7% of the population has received both shots.
In terms of those over the age of 18, 73.1% have at least their first dose.
The Sioux Lookout Health Hub leads the way in both categories at 77% and 52.9% respectively.
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kit Young Hoon says, “Anyone who has not received their first dose yet should attend one of our clinics in the next few weeks. Our mass clinics will be winding down over the upcoming weeks as 90% of our clinics have been filled with people getting their second doses.”
She adds, “We will be hosting Youth second dose clinics in the summer, and we will be focusing on pop-up clinics. Anyone who wants their COVID-19 vaccine after our clinics are finished can contact our office, their health care provider or participating pharmacies.”
A total of 82,584 vaccine doses have been administered.
