The COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic at Caradoc Community Centre was unexpectedly closed for the day on Friday as a result of “unplanned maintenance work,” officials with the Middlesex-London Health Unit said.
The clinic, located in Mount Brydges, Ont. will reopen on Monday at 11 a.m., and those who had been scheduled to get a COVID-19 shot on Friday will be contacted, the health unit said.
Residents are still able to get COVID-19 vaccinations at the Western Fair District clinic, or the Westmount Shopping Centre clinic, health officials said.
A health unit spokesperson told Global News that a backed up sewer was the cause of the closure.
According to health unit figures, a total of 1.29 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been doled out in London and Middlesex County since late December 2020.
An average of 3,600 doses were administered weekly in the region between Oct. 2 and Nov. 5, compared to just under 2,400 per week between Sept. 3 and Oct. 1.
At least 95.5 per cent of residents 12 and older received their first two primary doses, the health unit says. Twenty-five per cent have also gotten a booster dose within the last six months.
