City planning booster shot clinics for education workers
CTV
Ottawa Public Health and the City of Ottawa are working on COVID-19 booster clinics for education workers in the coming days as schools remain closed.
Dr. Vera Etches told reporters Tuesday that the final details have yet to be determined, but a plan is in place to help prioritize booster shots for teachers and school staff.
"We are looking to have a new point of access, in partnership with Kids Come First, that would hopefully be stood up this week," Etches said.
Kids Come First is a health team made up of more than 60 organizations, nearly 1,100 physicians, and youth, family and caregiver partners.
The provincial government announced Monday that schools in Ontario would remain closed for two more weeks, shifting classes online, while the Omicron variant surges.
