Vaccine age lowered to 12 years

REGIONAL — As of press time, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has invited all residents aged 12 and over to book their first vaccine appointment.

In Chatham-Kent, the age was still standing at 18-plus, but the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit were encouraging the 12-plus group to pre-register for appointments that will begin in June.

As the vaccine rollout continues across the province, the age limits are changing every few days, so please visit your local health unit’s website for up-to-the-minute information.
