CK Public Health officials say Chatham-Kent youth, ages 12-17, can now receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by walking into the Bradley Centre without booking an appointment.
Starting Wednesday, July 7 and going until Thursday, July 15, 2021, CK Public Health will be offering first doses to youth, ages 12-17, on a walk-in basis at all Bradley Centre Clinics offering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines.
Anyone aged 18+ still looking to receive their first dose will also be accommodated.
Upcoming Bradley Centre Clinics offering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will take place:
– Wednesday, July 7, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Thursday, July 8, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Saturday, July 10, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
– Wednesday, July 14, 2021 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Thursday, July 15, 2021 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Walk-in clinics remove barriers and are very convenient, particularly for youth still needing their first dose.
At this time, Pfizer-BioNTech is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently approved for the 12 to 17 age group. All appointments previously booked will be honoured, CK Public Health officials say.
Youth looking to receive their second dose must still book an appointment.
Appointments can be booked by visiting www.getyourshotck.ca or calling 519-351-1010 and leaving a message.

Walk-in appointments will also be accepted based on vaccine availability.
The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and will be open to those seeking first and second doses.
“Local positive COVID-19 case counts are going down and this is a good sign – proving that vaccinations work. It’s not too late to get your first dose,” said Primary Care Vaccination Lead, Dr. Vishal Chawla.
The COVID-19 vaccine community clinics are being delivered via a partnership with Tilbury District Family Health Team, Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres, Chatham-Kent Family Health Team, Thamesview Family Health Team, Medavie EMS Ontario, Chatham-Kent Ontario Health Team and supported by Chatham-Kent Public Health.
