Lambton Public Health is now booking COVID-19 vaccine appointments for individuals 12 years old and older, or those who will turn 12 in 2021. Appointments for that group are only available at the Point Edward Arena mass vaccination clinic which administers the Pfizer vaccine.

Adults 18 years-old and older can book a vaccine appointment at any available clinic by visiting Lambton Public Health’s online registration site <HERE>.

As of last Friday, May 14th, Lambton County reached a 50% vaccination rate with its eligible population. By the end of May, Lambton Public Health estimates that close to 65% of the eligible population will have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

The Provincial Stay-at-Home order is in effect until June 2nd, along with all public health and workplace safety measures under the provincewide emergency brake.

Non-essential travel is discouraged, and travel from Manitoba or Quebec into Ontario is restricted.
