First Dose Vaccinations Expanded to Additional Priority Groups in Huron Perth

With the increased vaccine supply in the Huron Perth Region, and the guidance from the Province, Huron Perth Public Health, The Middlesex-London Health Unit and Southwestern Public Health will expand eligibility for Covid-19 vaccination to additional priority groups identified in the first phase of Ontario’s Vaccination Plan.

Starting today the 3 health units are expanding eligibility to include community members who are 80 years of age and older and Indigenous adults who are 55 years of age and older.

In order to accommodate these groups from the general public, HPPH will be opening a public booking system (online and telephone) in the days ahead.

Clinics will begin early to mid-March and continue for several weeks.

In you have a loved one who is 80 years or older, please inform them that booking links and details will soon be announced for Huron-Perth.

When booking opens for those in the age group, the Health Unit will be communicating this information widely  through their webpage, print, radio, local news and social media.

You can also call them at 1-888-221-2133, press 1 for Covid-19 vaccine and listen to our regularly updated vaccine information.

Do not call your primary care provider or pharmacy for further information.

Healthcare workers in provincially prioritized groups will also be able to start getting their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
