Opening Up Walk-Ins for Second Doses

In an effort to ease the vaccination process for Chatham-Kent residents, public health is opening up walk-in availability for both first and second doses.

Until now, second doses had to be booked in advance at the Bradley Convention centre mass vaccination clinic.

Officials say while scheduling in advance is still the best way to ensure you get your shot, walk-ins will be accepted as vaccine availability allows.

Upcoming public health clinics accepting walk-ins for first and second doses:

Thursday, July 22nd – 9:00AM – 7:00PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Saturday, July 24th – 9:00AM – 7:00PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Monday, July 26th – 9:00AM-3:00PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Tuesday, July 27th – 9:00AM-3:00PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Wednesday, July 28th – 12:00PM-6:30PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Thursday, July 29th – 12:00PM – 6:30PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)
Friday, July 30th – 9:00AM – 3:00PM (Pfizer-BioNTech)

Pop-up clinics are also being offered the local Family Health Teams, and vaccines are being administered at select pharmacies and some local healthcare providers.
