WINCHESTER, Ontario – March 11th was a special milestone at WDMH. All staff, physicians, midwives, and students have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine – close to 400 health care workers in total.

Over the past four weeks, vaccination clinics were held as each delivery of the vaccine arrived.

“It is comforting to know that our front-line workers are now protected,” noted Cholly Boland, CEO. “Now attention will turn to ensuring our local communities are protected too.”

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit is leading the vaccination program and will be providing regular updates to local communities about the timing and location of vaccination clinics. For the latest
