Booster ✅ #CovidVaccine Ottawa Public Health

Ontario expanding third dose COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to 50+ in mid-December toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-expand…

Even if Omicron is less virulent than Delta, the massive number of new cases still results in hospitalization & puts pressure on a healthcare system that was stretched prior to this wave. Covid-related personnel absences (via infection & exposure) further exacerbate the problem.

NEW: As of tomorrow, OPH is making it easier to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Community clinics will offer drop-ins to everyone eligible for a 1st, 2nd & booster dose. We’ll be posting clinic availability for drop-ins regularly, stay tuned for updates! (1/2)
