CK Public Health is now offering walk-in appointments for residents looking to receive their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Bradley Centre Clinic in Chatham.
Public Health officials say these walk-ins will run on a “while supplies lasts” basis, so those looking to ensure a specific date and time for their vaccine are encouraged to still book an appointment at www.GetYourShotCK.ca or by calling 519-351-1010 and leaving a message.
“COVID-19 vaccines are the most effective way to protect ourselves and our community from the virus,” CK Public Health officials said in a media release.
“If you have received your first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine it is important for you to return to get your second dose at least 28 days later. Both doses are required to get the best protection against COVID-19, including serious illness and hospitalization.”
