Sarnia-Lambton MPP Bob Bailey confirmed that two additional pharmacies in Lambton County will begin offering the AstraZeneca vaccine starting the week of April 12.
In total, five pharmacies in Lambton County will now be offering the vaccine to individuals 55 and older.
"Our government is rapidly increasing vaccine availability across the province, and right here in Lambton County," said MPP Bailey in a statement. "This week two additional pharmacies in Lambton County will begin offering the vaccine to eligible individuals. The expanded pharmacy vaccine program will support the efforts of our local public health unit to get needles in arms as quickly as possible."
