BARRIE, ONT. Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Barrie and Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket are among 17 Ontario hospitals the province says will receive the next batch of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of the year. The additional hospitals announced Friday join Toronto s University Health Network and the Ottawa Hospital in giving the vaccine to health care workers. A COVID-19 Immunization Clinic will open in Barrie in the Sperling Drive RVH COVID-19 Testing and Assessment Centre in anticipation of the vaccine. This is wonderful news for all of us and cause for real optimism, but it is a complex endeavour, said Dr. Charles Gardner, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit s medical officer of health. It will take some time for us, working together with our partners, to roll out mass immunization for all of our residents who want it.
