Chatham-Kent's main COVID-19 vaccination clinic will be setting up at a new location in Chatham later this month.
The clinic, which has been operating out of the John D. Bradley Centre off and on for the past year, will end its run there on Wednesday February 23.
"Our final day at the Bradley Centre Clinic will mark exactly one year in operation there," stated Carina Caryn, CK Public Health Program Manager, "We are very grateful to have had such an ideal location to serve the public out of, and are fortunate to have found a new location just down the road where we can continue to do so."
After the clinic closes at the Bradley Centre, it will move to the former YA Canada building at 730 Richmond Street, where it's set to re-open on Thursday, March 3. First, second and booster doses will be available to residents aged 18+, while first and second doses will be available to those aged 5+.
Public health officials are also reminding the public that a parent or guardian needs to be present for children under 12 years of age.
A number of clinics will also be held across Chatham-Kent leading up to and after the move. You can find that schedule below:
