SIMCOE MUSKOKA –    The health unit and their school board partners are now offering youth focused, first dose COVID-19 vaccination clinics to those aged 12 to 17 years. The clinics will run throughout the weeks of June 14 and 21 across Simcoe Muskoka. Youth can book an appointment at any one of these clinics through the provincial booking system or the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line: 1-833-943-3900. Youth do not have to be attending that particular school to book an appointment there. When booking a first dose vaccination appointment, the second dose will be automatically booked at the appropriate interval in August so that students are fully immunized before returning to school in the fall. To book an appointment online, individuals must already be 12 years old as of the date of their booking.  For those who are not yet 12 years old but will be by the clinic day, they can book an appointment by calling the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line.
