In an effort to add an extra layer of protection against COVID-19, clinics are being set up across the region in the coming weeks. While the vaccination rate in KFL&A is one of the highest in the province, there is still room to grow. About 30% of residents 18 and over have not had a booster shot as of yet, 8% of those over 12 have not had a second dose, and 5% of those 12 and over have not received any vaccine at all.
In addition, Public Health report this week that only 26% of those who are eligible have received a 4th dose. The dose is recommended for people over 60, who are 3 months removed from either a 3rd dose or a positive COVID test.
The first clinic that is coming up is in Sharbot Lake on May 17, and it is being presented by the Sharbot Lake Family Health Team, starting at 9am. Preregistration is required for this clinic, which is open to everyone. To book any dose that you are eligible for, email This email address is being protected from spambots.

The first is the Flinton Recreation Hall on May 17, between 3pm and 6pm.
The second is at the Addington Highlands Community Centre– Denbigh on May 24, from 3:30pm - 6:30pm.
The third is at the Grace Centre – Sydenham, on May 31, from 12:30pm - 5:30pm.
These clinics are also offering vaccination for first, second, third and fourth doses to whoever is eligible, and pre-registration is not required.
