Learn more about the local vaccination picture

By Cecilia Nasmith

Northumberland-Peterborough South MPP David Piccini invites members of the public to sign up for inclusion at Tuesday evening's Tele-Town Hall to discuss the local vaccine plan.

The one-hour event (starting at 6:30 p.m.) will focus on Ontario’s vaccine-distribution plan as led locally, and will touch on such key issues as priority groups, booking your vaccine appointment, and information on the Pfizer-BioNtech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines. There will also be a question-and-answer period.

Piccini will be joined at this event by Northumberland Family Health Team Executive Director Adrienne Bell-Smith, Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ian Gemmill, Campbellford Memorial Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Varouj Eskedjian, and Ontario Health Team-Northumberland spokesperson (and Northumberland Hills Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer) Linda Davis.

The Tele-Town Hall will be audio-live-streamed on-line and by phone, and you can register to participate by visiting www.davidpiccinimpp.ca/vaccinetownhall. Or you can contact Piccini's office at 905-372-4000 or David.PicciniCO@pc.ola.org.
