Frustrations over cancelled COVID-19 vaccinations, as number of stored doses grows
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a delay in COVID-19 vaccine shipments has forced hospitals to cancel thousands of people's appointments to get their shot. But as Abigail Bimman explains, that doesn't line up with reports that thousands of doses are sitting in freezers, fuelling frustrations nationwide. – Apr 14, 2021

Another COVID-19 vaccine clinic is set to open in Waterloo Region next week.

The vaccine distribution task force for the area says as of April 20, those eligible for a vaccine can go to Langs Community Health Centre at 1145 Concession Rd. in Cambridge.

“We are tremendously grateful for the support and assistance of the Cambridge North Dumfries Ontario Health Team to open up this vaccination clinic that any resident who is eligible for the vaccine can attend,” said deputy police chief Shirley Hilton, who is head of the vaccine task force.

“The physicians, nurses, administrative staff and volunteers who are working on the frontline and behind the scenes are an integral part of the vaccine rollout. We cannot thank them enough.”
