On Tuesday the Grey Bruce Health Unit asked vaccinated local residents to be "vaccine ambassadors" by sharing the basis of their own decision with younger friends and family members to increase their confidence in the shots. They also asked the "ambassadors" to advise folks that they can find the vaccine "where they live, work and play" at new pop-up and drive-through clinics.
We at the Owen Sound Hub asked the Health Unit to share dates and locations of these new opportunities so that we could share them daily on our social media. We offered our office/Community Incubator as a vaccination spot, as it is right by OShaRE and the laundromat.
We received no reply to either of these requests (perhaps our space is not suitable) but we know our readers will jump in to help. If you see details of a public clinic that is not on the main schedule, please snap a photo of the poster or notice and send it by Messenger, or by email to [email protected] , and we'll share it on our social media for those who could benefit most. Thank you for your help!
