Following the announcement of increased eligibility for fourth dose COVID-19 vaccinations, the Community Response and Stabilization Team (CRST), in conjunction with the Municipality of Leamington, will be holding vaccine clinics at the Leamington Municipal Building.

The walk-in clinics will take place from April 11 to 22. The clinics will provide 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th doses to those eligible to receive them. No appointment is necessary.

The expanded booster eligibility will provide an extra layer of protection against the Omicron and BA.2 variants.

Aside from the clinics, vaccinations are also available at participating pharmacies and primary care settings.
