The Ontario Government has added over 350 additional pharmacies to the list of those able to offer COVID-19 vaccinations.
Locally, Yurek Pharmacy and Shoppers Drug Mart at 107 Edward Street will be offering the AstraZeneca vaccine to individuals aged 55 and over.
Some locations will begin offering the vaccine as early as Saturday, April 3rd as the government steadily increases capacity in its COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
“Ontario’s capacity to get needles in arms continues to grow by the day,” said Premier Doug Ford. “Thanks to the determination and commitment of members of Team Ontario we are ahead of schedule and administering more vaccines than all of the other provinces combined. We are ready to dramatically increase the number of vaccines we can administer once we receive a steady and reliable supply from the federal government.”
Vaccinations with the AstraZeneca vaccine at pharmacies require an appointment to be made in advance. As of April 3, eligible adults aged 55 and over who are interested in booking an appointment can contact the pharmacy to do so.
