Quinte Health Care sets dates for upcoming COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Bancroft

By Chris Drost

To date, the vaccination clinic has completed 14,540 vaccinations, with plans in place to continue vaccinating as much of the eligible population as quickly as possible. Quinte Health Care is grateful to the Royal Canadian Legion in Bancroft for sharing their locations for the clinics. The community businesses have also been supportive of their work, but there is more to do.

QHC has been travelling to area schools to offer vaccinations to children age five to 11, and their parents, if they are due.

Clinics will be offered going forward in a new location at the North Hastings Health Centre 1 P Manor Lane in the Professional Building on the dates below. These clinics are by appointment only for all who are eligible. Walk-ins will not be accepted. Call 613-332-2825 ext. 6227 to an appointment for Monday Dec. 20, Tuesday, Dec. 21, Wednesday, Dec. 22 and Tuesday, Dec. 28 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
