WINDSOR, ONT. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit says about 7,000 eligible residents over 80 years old pre-registered to get a COVID-19 vaccine on the first day it was available.

In total, 8,400 people pre-registered, but 1,400 of those were deemed not eligible at this time. “Our epidemiologists are currently reviewing the information and preparing the selection process for Monday’s clinic,” says Marentette. The inoculations for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will start on Monday, March 1 at the WFCU Centre in Windsor and at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre in Leamington, starting on March 8.
