Back to SearchNIPISSING & PARRY SOUND, ON – Today, the Government of Ontario announced a provincewide shutdown will take effect Saturday, April 3, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. for a period of four weeks. The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) is reassuring the public that COVID-19 vaccine clinics will still run as scheduled. Although the shutdown guidelines state individuals cannot travel outside their house for non-essential reasons, getting vaccinated is deemed essential; however, the Health Unit strongly discourages people from traveling between health unit regions to obtain a vaccine.
The Health Unit’s Call Centre will be open April 2 to April 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to book appointments for individuals born in 1951 or before. To book an appointment by phone over the weekend, call 1-800-563-2808 and choose option 4. Individuals may also book online using the provincial booking system at www.Ontario.ca/BookVaccine. The Health Unit is reminding the public to be patient when trying to book an appointment, and note that appointments cannot be made in person.
