Northumberland County remains behind others when it comes to its vaccination rates. Only 61 percent of eligible people over 18 are fully vaccinated. This is compared to 71 percent of the same age group across Ontario.
Dr. Natalie Bocking, chief medical officer for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, will talk about the numbers and what it means for the county.
Then, we will hear a more personal story. Scott MacCoubrey is a Rotarian and one of the hundreds of volunteers working at the mass vaccination clinic at the Cobourg Community Centre. He is very concerned about the low rates and is trying to make a difference.
