London adjusting vaccine rollout to address delay in Pfizer delivery

Three mass vaccination clinics in the Middlesex-London region will be providing adults with only the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine due to a delayed delivery of Pfizer.

As of Monday, the clinics at the Western Fair Agriplex, North London Optimist Community Centre, and the Caradoc Community Centre in Mount Brydges will only offer the Moderna vaccine to adults over the age of 18 for a first or second dose appointment.

According to the Middlesex-London Health Unit, a limited supply of Pfizer is available at each clinic for youth aged 12 to 17 years old.

“Regardless of which vaccine you received for your first dose, Moderna is an excellent vaccine for your second dose,” said Dr. Chris Mackie, Medical Officer of Health at the Middlesex-London Health Unit, “Pfizer and Moderna are essentially different brands of the same vaccine. You will have the same protection against COVID-19 regardless of what you get for your first or second dose.”

Residents can book their appointment online at www.covidvaccinelm.ca
