In addition to serving up vaccination serums at 100 Health Village Lane in Renfrew, the walk-in clinic has expanded by offering a drive-thru service for vulnerable individuals.
Those who have been identified with mobility issues are being contacted directly to book their appointments.
Following a similar process as at the indoor clinic- which has provided over 3,000 vaccinations to date, clients are screened when they first drive up and submit their signed consent form.
Once they receive their vaccine shot, their vehicle is tagged with the time of their jab, and they are directed to pull into a parking area, where they wait the proscribed 15 minutes before leaving.
Chief Executive Officer Julia Boudreau sends a big shout out to the vaccination delivery team, which includes RVH staff and physicians who have taken lead roles and shifts at the clinic, new hires and a number of retired nurses and volunteers, as well as Renfrew County paramedics and public health officials which make the initiative possible.
