Province Further Expands Vaccination Effort

The province is expanding its rollout of COVID-19 vaccines to people aged 75-79.

People in that age group can book a vaccination appointment starting today.

The province says more appointments will be added to new and existing clinics next week.

The province also announced today it’s providing $200,000 in funding to the Rural Transportation Association that helps people get to vaccination appointments if they don’t have transportation.

The service is available through Victoria County Transit and the l’Acabie Taxi Service in Cheticamp.

It’s website is at ruralrides.ca.

Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang says work continues to try to set up a vaccination clinic in Neil’s Harbour.
