Seven more pharmacies in Barrie and Innisfil, Ont., will begin offering the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine to people age 55 and older throughout this week, a local MPP’s office confirmed Monday.
Between both Barrie and Innisfil, there are now 16 pharmacies in the area that offer coronavirus immunizations.
“With the variants of concern increasing COVID numbers daily and the ICUs filling up across Ontario and even here locally at the RVH, we are in a race against the clock to get people vaccinated,” Barrie–Innisfil MPP Andrea Khanjin said in a statement.
“At RVH, ICUs have filled up and we have started using the cardiac care unit for COVID patients. The importance of increasing our capacity to administer vaccines is essential, which is why over the last week, we have secured an additional seven pharmacies to administer the vaccine.”
