COVID vaccines ON THEIR WAY IN ONTARIO

Thanks to MPP Steve Clark for arranging a briefing with the Premier and Retired General Hillier today. The 444 Ontario Mayors learned that the roll out of vaccines in Ontario will begin shortly. It is all good news!.

General Hillier explained that the province will be supplied by Pfizer and Moderna. Both vaccines require two shots, 21 days apart. Distribution will be phased in with the most vulnerable in Phase #1. The general population should receive vaccinations beginning in (approximately) April and continue for 6-9 months.

There will be more information made available to you in the next few weeks from the Ministry of Health. Until then, there is a plan and it will roll out in 2021.

Congratulations everyone!

MPP Steve Clark has recognized that we have the know how and perseverance to keep ourselves and the Village COVID free.  As the evidence of moving into Phase 3 is clearly visible in the Village, please remain vigilant and remember to practice the public safety rules that we all know so well: frequent hand washing/sanitizing, physical distancing of 6 ft, wear a mask when you can’t physically distance or inside any public place, stay home if you are feeling ill.

Thank you for taking the time to send this scroll of appreciation to the Village MPP Clark.
