VACCINE CLINICS IN BALA, BAYSVILLE, PORT SYDNEY, PORT CARLING, MACTIER, MILFORD BAY

MUSKOKA — A push to get more Muskokans vaccinated continues.

After months struggling to get more testing and vaccination sites, the health unit is pulling out all the stops as it increases walk-in traffic and puts on pop-up clinics in even remote community locations.

The latest initiative started this past Monday in Gravenhurst and continued in Bracebridge and Huntsville the past two days.

Tomorrow at the Summit Centre in Huntsville there’s another one.

Then over the next week health staff are going to waterfronts and community centres closer to you in Port Sydney, Baysville, Port Carling, Bala, Milford Bay and MacTier.

All over age 12 are welcome.
