The health unit and partners are relocating the mass vaccination site currently located at Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre in Leamington with the final doses being administered at this site on Saturday, February 5th.

“I want to thank the Municipality of Leamington for opening their doors a second time to set up a mass vaccination clinic at their recreation centre. We look forward to working with the Town of Kingsville to continue providing this service to residents of the county,” said Nicole Dupuis, CEO for the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit.
