COVID-19 immunization clinics operated by Peterborough Public Health are unavailable until next Monday (June 6), with the mass immunization clinic moving from the Healthy Planet Arena to the health unit’s offices in downtown Peterborough.
“We want to thank the City of Peterborough for allowing us to use the Healthy Planet Arena over the past two years,” says medical officer of health Dr. Thomas Piggott in a media release. “We have been incredibly fortunate to work with the city staff and health care partners to provide over 350,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in the Peterborough region.”
Starting June 6, vaccinations will be available at a temporary clinic at Peterborough Public Health’s offices at 185 King Street. Residents can book appointments for the temporary clinic, but walk-in appointments will be unavailable at this time.
Residents who are seeking a vaccination this week can visit the GO-VAXX mobile clinic, which will be at Lansdowne Place Mall in Peterborough from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday (June 2). The mobile clinic have the Pfizer vaccine available for first, second, third, and booster doses (if eligible) for adults and youth aged 12 and up, as well as the pediatric Pfizer vaccine available for children aged five to 11.
Residents can also reach out to local participating pharmacies to book an appointment for their COVID-19 vaccine during this week.
For both the GO-VAXX mobile clinic and the new Peterborough Public Health clinic, residents can book appointments by calling 1-833-943-3900 or online at covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine/.
Residents who wish to book an appointment at the GO-VAXX mobile clinic should specify this when calling to book an appointment.
Peterborough Public Health is working to determine a more permanent solution for the mass immunization clinic.
