The GO-VAXX Bus is coming to the Ottawa Valley.
The news was shared by the Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU).
The GO-VAXX Bus hosts mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics and is fully accessible.
On Wednesday, January 19th, a GO-VAXX clinic will be held at the Cobden Agricultural Society, 43 Astroblade Rd., between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The clinic is open to all ages for first, second, third and booster doses, and a limited supply of paediatric Pfizer vaccines for children aged five to 11 will also be available.
Starting tomorrow morning (Tuesday, January 18th) at 8:00 a.m., residents can book an appointment through the Provincial COVID-19 vaccination portal or call the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833- 943-3900.
Residents CANNOT book an appointment for the GO-VAXX bus through the local booking site.
The RCDHU says the GO-VAXX clinics are by appointment only.
GO buses have been converted to serve as mobile vaccine clinics to get COVID-19 vaccines directly to people, wherever they are located across Ontario.
Each bus operates as a fully functioning vaccine clinic with the necessary supplies and trained staff to provide assistance to people and ensure vaccines are administered safely.
All COVID-19 safety precautions will be followed on board, including the required pre-vaccination screening and post-vaccination monitoring.
