Chatham-Kent Public Health is adding more people to the vaccine roll-out.
Those born in 1956 or earlier can now book appointments at the mass clinic at the Bradley Centre.
Residents 65 years and over with a last name starting with A-M are asked to call Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Residents 65 years and over with a last name starting with N-Z can call Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
To book an appointment, call 519-351-1010 and leave a message. Messages can be left 24 hours a day and are returned Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 8:30pm (except for Statutory Holidays).
Public Health says the new 65+ age bracket includes a large segment of our population, and it could take a few days for calls to be returned. Please be patient; once you have left a message you do not need to call again.
