It’s still a ways off, but public health officials are planning on holding mass immunization clinics to protect the general public against COVID-19.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Colby says it’s entirely dependent on supply.
“There’s been a provincial prioritization document with regard to how to decide when the supplies of the vaccine are lean, who gets it first in a fair and equitable manner,” Dr. Colby explains. “It’s a very long and complicated document, and we’re kind of slogging through that right now to finalize our local plan.”
Dr. Colby says the plan is that everyone in Chatham-Kent who wants to receive the vaccine will have had it by September.
