The Centretown Community Health Centre is delivering COVID-19 vaccines to vulnerable residents who face barriers keeping them from getting to a local clinic or pharmacy.
Not everyone has Internet access or a phone to make an appointment, or transportation, says the centre on Twitter.
“For some residents of disproportionately impacted communities, our airplane model vaccinates residents at their door,” writes the centre.
Door-to-door vaccines in #Ottawa? We do that!
