ICYMI: Record-breaking crowd at Alvinston Rodeo
Brigden first to host pop up vaccine clinics in Lambton
April 6, 2021
Lambton farmers will be among those rolling up their sleeves at the first pop-up vaccine clinic to be held at the Brigden Fairgrounds.
Lambton Public Health has two of the clinics planned – one Wednesday in Brigden and another a week later at the Brooke-Alvinston-Inwood Community Centre Complex. Both will run from 10 am to 4 pm and are by appointment only.
Among those in line for the COVID-19 shot will be local farmers. Farm and agricultural workers are among those in the second phase who can be vaccinated. The Lambton Federation of Agriculture notified its members of the opportunity late last week.
