COVID-19 VACCINE is not yet available to the general public. When it is, Timiskaming Health Unit will advertise widely in our communities. The process will be similar to the annual flu clinics, and will be offered in many communities in the region. Timelines for the general public shots are dependent on vaccine supply, the expectation of these clinics are still months away.
