A by-appointment-only COVID-19 vaccination clinic opens at the Lindsay Exhibition on Thursday (March 18).
Operated by Ross Memorial Hospital with the support of the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, the drive-through clinic at 354 Angeline Street South in Lindsay will be providing vaccinations only for people born in 1941 or earlier.
Vaccinations are by appointment only and must be booked through the provincial booking system at www.ontario.ca/bookvaccine or by calling 1-888-999-6488. Appointments are not available through local health care providers or the local public health unit.
You must have an appointment to be vaccinated at the Lindsay Ex clinic. Anyone who arrives without an appointment will not receive a vaccination.
As the clinic is operating as a drive-through, people with appointments will remain in their vehicles for the duration of their appointment. There will be signage and hospital staff on-site to help with navigation.
Those with appointments are asked to arrive around 10 minutes prior to their appointment time to check in. They must bring their Ontario health card and should wear a loose and comfortable shirt.
Vaccinated people will be monitored in their vehicles for an additional 15 minutes (or 30 minutes if they have a history of allergic reactions).
Everyone in a vehicle must wear a mask covering their mouth and nose when interacting with staff at the clinic.
