A pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic is taking place in Apsley on Thursday afternoon and early evening (July 15).
Following recent clusters of COVID-19 cases in North Kawartha Township, Mayor Carolyn Amyotte contacted Peterborough medical officer of health Dr. Rosana Salvaterra to see if a pop-up clinic could be arranged to take place in the township.
The clinic, which runs Thursday from 2 to 7:30 p.m. in the North Kawartha Community Centre at 340 McFadden Road in Apsley, is for any North Kawartha resident 12 years and older.
Priority will be given to those who need their first dose of vaccine, with Moderna available for adults and Pfizer available for children and youth.
“My sincere thanks to Dr. Salvaterra and the health unit staff, the Peterborough Family Health Team, our township staff, and our North Kawartha volunteer firefighters who have quickly mobilized to bring this clinic to our community with only a few days notice,” Mayor Amyotte says in a video posted on Facebook.
To book an appointment, call the North Kawartha Township office at 705-656-4445 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Since this clinic is not part of the provincial vaccination booking system, appointments can only be booked by calling this number.
