Cambridge Pinebush COVID-19 vaccination clinic closing

The Region of Waterloo says its largest COVID-19 vaccination clinic is closing at the end of March with the demand for shots winding down.

The Cambridge Pinebush clinic is scheduled to close on March 30 as the vaccine rollout switches focus to after-school clinics and neighbourhoods where residents face barriers accessing doses.

“The Pinebush clinic has always been a special space,” said Lisa Anstey, clinic manager from Grand River Hospital.

“We were able to find the balance of being efficient while still providing a positive healthcare experience. We have prided ourselves on our mobility clinic, sensory safe space and our outreach as well as our Indigenous culturally aware space and our children’s Camp Pinebush area.”

Anstey added that around 333,000 doses were administered at Pinebush.
