Province approves another 79 Ottawa pharmacies to administer COVID-19 vaccine

By CityNews Ottawa

More than 700 Ontario pharmacies are joining the COVID-19 vaccine rollout as the province races to slow to spread of the virus.

Government officials announced Sunday that the move will rapidly expand the availability of the AstraZeneca vaccine to people aged 55 and over this week.

With the new locations, more than 1,400 pharmacies will offer vaccines, with the province expecting to add another 100 by the end of April.

In the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), there are three new pharmacies approved to deliver the COVID-19 vaccine in Cornwall and Rockland. 

There are 22 new sites added in the Leeds, Grenville, and Lanark Health Unit. That includes pharmacies in Smiths Falls, Perth, Brockville, Carleton Place, Almonte, Merrickville, and Kemptville.

In the Ottawa Public Health Unit area, there are 79 additional pharmacies now allowed to administer the vaccine. Ten of the locations are east of the Rideau River, with sites in Gloucester, Orleans, and Navan among them.  

However, councillor Mathieu Fleury said the rollout still does not address the pharmacy gap in communities east of Rideau River.
