WATERLOO --
The vaccine rollout in Waterloo Region is beginning to slow, prompting a strategy shift to continue getting jabs into arms.
While the mass vaccination clinics in the region don't have a closing date yet, there are new efforts to administer vaccines and address concerns that might be stopping some from getting the shot.
Province-wide, the goal is to have 75 per cent of the eligible population fully vaccinated before easing restrictions further.
As of Monday, 81.43 per cent of Waterloo Region residents 12 and older have had at least one shot, while 65.14 per cent are now fully vaccinated.
"The vaccine is there and the capacity is there," said Dr. Sharon Bal, a primary care physician who works with the Region of Waterloo's vaccine distribution task force.
