Lambton’s essential workers now have a dedicated vaccine clinic.
Lambton Public Health, the two of three local health teams, Lambton EMS and Bluewater Health are providing clinics at the Sarnia Legion for principals, teachers, assistants, cleaners, office staff, early childhood educators and bus drivers, hospital front line staff, long term care staff, police, paramedics, firefighters and other essential municipal staff.
These clinics will operate to January 20.
“With the addition of hundreds of new appointments, these new clinics will also free up much needed space in our regular COVID-19 vaccine clinics allowing us to accelerate booster doses for everyone,” says Dr. Sudit Ranade, Lambton’s medical officer of health in a news release.
These clinics will be operated by appointment only and eligible staff will be notified through their employers with instructions on how to book online.
LPH recently ramped up clinic capacity from approximately 3,000 doses per week in December to over 7,000 doses a week in January . Together, with primary care and pharmacy partners, the region plans to administer a total of approximately 11,000 doses each week in January .
