As Durham Region was recently identified as a Delta hot spot, the health department says it is “crucial to get as many residents fully immunized as quickly as possible.”
The health department says as more residents are immunized, it ensures an optimal level of protection and helps in slowing the rate of transmission within the community.
Durham has received the shipment of Pfizer vaccine that was recently delayed, which affected the Pfizer supply in the mass immunization clinics across the region.
As a result, the health department has been administering the Moderna vaccine at area clinics for appointments booked by individuals 18 and older.
