Ranade says 12,653 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered already – 1,251 people are fully immunized.

Lambton’s Call Centre will be open one extra day- Saturday from 8:30am to 4:30pm – to help people register. The number is 519-383-8331.

Vaccines by appoint will be given at the Point Edward arena from Monday to Saturday 10 am to 6 pm, in Wyoming at the Fairgrounds on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 am to 6 pm and in Forest Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 am to 6 pm.
