Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health just opened its COVID-19 vaccination hub in Orangeville on Wednesday (Mar. 3).
Spokesperson, Danny Williamson says Public Health has been ahead of other health units and it’s largely thanks to teamwork with community partners.
Williamson explains Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health was one of the first health units to receive a deep freezer, which allowed it to also be among the first to receive Pfizer doses and by building its own pre-registration system, Public Health is ready to vaccinate more cohorts.

Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health says three additional Guelph residents are now suspected to have contracted the B.1.1.7 (UK) variant of COVID-19, after further investigation into the first confirmed case in the region.
Wellington-Dufferin Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) announced last Thursday (Feb. 11) that a previously-resolved positive case of COVID-19 in the region had been detected by Public Health Ontario (PHO) as a case of the COVID-19 UK variant.
The individual, a resident of Guelph, tested positive for the virus on Jan. 13 and the case was considered resolved on Jan. 21. The case was handled by the regions Public Health unit as a non-variant case.
In total, 67 Guelph students tested positive for COVID-19. The cases have been linked back to "unsanctioned" parties that happened in residence in mid-January.
