There were less than 2,000 vaccinations done in the area on Monday, according to Waterloo Region.
On Tuesday, it reported that there have now been 207,288 vaccinations given in the region, 1,953 more than what was announced on Monday.
A spokesperson for the region’s vaccination task force says a lack of supply is to blame.
“We are closing clinics several days a week as a result,” Sharon Ord told Global News in an email.
“The province has indicated that vaccine supply is going to increase in the coming weeks.”
