Vaccination clinic at Earl Nichols now open for walk-ins

The Middlesex-London Health Unit has announced that appointments are no longer needed to get vaccinated at the Earl Nichols COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Clinic.
That means anyone five years of age and older who needs a first, second or booster dose can walk in to get their COVID-19 vaccine.
“...You can now walk into the Earl Nichols Recreation Centre...Monday to Friday, to get your shot,” said Mary Lou Albanese, director of Environmental Health and Infectious Diseases with the health unit, in a statement.
“It is critical that five to 11-year-olds get vaccinated. With the ongoing COVID-19 transmission we’re seeing, having our children receive the COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most important steps we can take to protect them and our community.”
The clinic at 799 Homeview Road in London is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Walk-ins must arrive at least an hour before closing so staff can ensure vaccine vials are used fully.
