After providing nearly 112,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to London and Middlesex County residents, the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) will be closing the doors at its COVID-19 Mass Vaccination clinic at the Caradoc Community Centre on Wednesday.
Located in Mount Brydges, the clinic was launched as a collaborative effort of the Health Unit, the County of Middlesex, the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc, Middlesex-London Paramedic Service and the Middlesex Hospital Alliance. When it opened its doors on February 18, 2021, the Caradoc Community Centre became the second location in the Middlesex-London region to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to local residents.
“We are very pleased to be able to return the Caradoc Community Centre to the Strathroy-Caradoc and Middlesex County community, who have been so supportive of the vaccination efforts that have been undertaken there for almost 22 months,” says Mary Lou Albanese, Director of Environmental Health and Infectious Disease with the Middlesex-London Health Unit. “The facility proved to be an excellent location for a vaccination clinic. Over 424 clinic days at Caradoc, the team was able to provide 111,786 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to countless people; not only decreasing their risk of getting sick, but also doing their part to help protect friends, neighbours and loved ones.”
Although the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Caradoc Community Centre is closing, residents will still be able to obtain the vaccine and booster doses at several London and Middlesex County locations. The Health Unit’s Mass Vaccination Clinic at the Western Fair remains open, while the mobile clinic at Westmount Shopping Centre will continue to offer the COVID-19 vaccine until the end of December. Several clinics will also be held through the end of the month, including a mobile clinic at the Crouch branch of the London Public Library today, and GO-VAXX bus vaccination clinics in Thorndale tomorrow and in Dorchester on December 22nd.
