Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health announced Wednesday that certain groups of people can drop in for a COVID-19 vaccine at any of the public health clinics without an appointment.
Anyone 12 and older needing a first or second dose can drop by, too
Teachers, child care educators and staff, seniors and children can get their COVID-19 vaccine without an appointment in clinics run by Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health.
The health unit tweeted on Wednesday that the following people can walk into a clinic:
- Children ages five to 11 for their first or second dose.
- People aged 12 and older who need a first or second dose.
- Adults aged 68 and older for a third dose.
- School staff and teachers for a third dose.
- Child care educators and staff, including unlicensed care providers, for a third dose.
People between the ages of 18 and 67 must still have a scheduled appointment to receive a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
A clinic recently reopened at the University of Guelph in the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre. The goal is to start with 1,000 doses a day, ramping up to 2,000 doses, the school said in a release. It will run between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. this week, then will run 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily starting Jan. 10.
