Local residents looking to book their COVID-19 vaccination now have another option.
Chatham-Kent Public Health just launched an online booking portal at www.GetYourShotCK.ca.
The website will allow people to register multiple family members who are eligible, and choose from a variety of dates, times, and locations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
To book a vaccination appointment, residents should confirm they meet the current eligibility requirements, then create an online account. Residents who use the system to book municipal recreation programming should already have an account. CK Public Health expanded the vaccine eligibility on Wednesday to include residents who are 60 years of age and older.
An instructional video on how to book and appointment is available.
