OTTAWA --
Just after 3 p.m. Sunday, the last cow bell rang out signalling the end of a massive effort to get Ottawa residents vaccinated in the final Jabapalooza.
"It’s been pretty complicated to get the vaccine, so this has made all the difference in terms of access," said Mikayla Sherry, now fully vaccinated.
Spearheaded by Ottawa family physician, Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth, the event dubbed Jabapalooza saw more than 500 residents getting a jab to the arm in the Glebe Sunday afternoon.
"We’ll have given 2,500 (doses) over the course of the spring (and) the summer," said Dr. Kaplan-Myrth.
"It's help Ontario and Ottawa get people fully vaccinated."
