Pharmacists in Windsor-Essex are getting ready to start doling out vaccines to residents after the region was one of three chosen as part of a provincial pilot project.
Hundreds of pharmacies across Windsor-Essex, Toronto and Kingston will soon be offering the newly approved AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccines.
Since the announcement was made Thursday, the Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA) has selected 330 participating stores and said the project is expected to begin later this week.
Tim Brady, the owner of Brady s Drug Stores, in Essex, Ont., said he s excited that both of his stores were chosen and he is now preparing for what he anticipates will be a busy couple of weeks.
