NOTICE: Several COVID-19 vaccine clinics planned throughout January in Picton

As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in the community, Country residents can protect themselves from the worst effects of the virus by getting the vaccine.

The municipality and community partners are making it easy for residents to get the jab right here in Prince Edward County throughout January. Clinics will take place at the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street) on the following dates for individuals 12 years of age or older who need to get their first, second or, if you are immunocompromised, your third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are 18 years of age and older you can get a booster if it has been more than three months since your last shot.

Monday, January 10 – 1-7pm
Thursday, January 13 –10 am - 4 pm
Monday, January 17 – 1-7 pm

Monday, January 24 – 1-7 pm

For these clinics you must book an appointment in advance through the online provincial portal or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1.833.943.3900.

If Picton clinics do not appear on the online provincial booking portal, it is because the clinics are fully booked. Check back regularly as appointments may open up. And if you have booked an appointment but already received your booster, please cancel your appointment so someone else can book that space.
