This week's after school COVID-19 vaccine clinics
Nearly half of Ottawa children aged five to 11 have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
As of Monday, Ottawa Public Health said 36,557 children in that age group had had their first dose, accounting for 48 per cent of that population. This was achieved in just over two weeks.
After school COVID-19 vaccine clinics will continue to operate until Dec. 23 to ensure as many children as possible receive their first dose.
Appointments can also be booked through the provincial portal or at many local pharmacies.
Clinics on school days will be held in the afternoon, but there are also clinics that begin in the morning on weekends at some schools.
OPH says after-hours school vaccinations clinics are open to anyone born in 2016 or earlier who lives in a neighbourhood near the school. They do not need to be students at that school.
Drop-in appointments are available on a first come first served basis during clinic hours. If the clinic is very busy, appointment cards may be given with a return time. A parent or guardian's consent is required for children aged five to 11.
Here are the after school clinics that will be available in Ottawa this week:
