Pop-up vaccination clinic

LEAMINGTON — The three day pop-up vaccination clinic at the Central 33 parking lot in Leamington was deemed a great success, as about 1500 people got vaccinated against COVID-19.

Even local dignitaries volunteered with the clinic as indicated in the photo below, where Chair of the Migrant Worker Community Program, Martin Varela, joined Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald in handing out freezies to vaccine recipients including these three happy workers, who came to the clinic on Wednesday, July 7.
