The local health unit is holding two pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics in the District Municipality of Muskoka this week(September 7th to the 12th.
Anyone looking to get their first or second dose can attend the walk-in clinics.

The second clinic will be Thursday at the Saint Dominics Catholic Secondary School located at 955 Cedar Lane in Bracebridge from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Second shots must be

- at least 28 days after the first dose of Moderna vaccine,
- or eight weeks after a first dose of AstraZeneca with informed consent.
The health unit adds that staff may also be providing vaccines in the community at beaches, parks, farmer’s markets, sports complexes and outdoor retail areas, making it easier than ever to get vaccinated.
