Wyoming, ON - The County of Lambton Emergency Control Group met Wednesday, September 15 to discuss updates to the current COVID-19 situation.

At this meeting, the Emergency Control Group:

• Heard that 177,939 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Lambton County, as of Wednesday, September 15. That represents 79.5% of individuals aged 12+ that have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and 74% of individuals aged 12+ that have received two doses.
• Received an update on local vaccination clinics. Community clinics, pop-up clinics, outreach clinics and school clinics are being well-attended for both first and second doses. Details for upcoming clinics can be found at getthevaccine.ca.
• Would like to remind residents that all eligible individuals can register for their vaccine appointment or attend a drop-in clinic. Full details are listed at getthevaccine.ca. Residents are also reminded that several local pharmacies are administering COVID-19 vaccines. Lambton Public Health has a dedicated Pharmacy page on its website to direct individuals to these options.
• Heard that Lambton County Library locations are providing support to assist members of the public with accessing their COVID-19 vaccination receipts, along with the downloading and printing of hard copies of their vaccination receipts at no cost. While an appointment is preferred, some walk-ins will be accommodated as space and time allow. To make an appointment, call the library you would like to visit directly during their hours of operation or call the central booking line toll free at 1-866-324-6912 (ext. 5900).
• Would like to remind residents that local statistics are available on the Lambton Public Health website, including a detailed community snapshot.
