Vaccination update: kids and adults clinics in Sackville this weekend » CHMA 106.9 FM (chmafm.com)
About 140 kids got their first COVID-19 vaccine shot at a clinic in Sackville on December 5. Another pediatric clinic is slated for this Saturday, December 11 at the Sackville Visitor Information Centre, and a clinic on December 17 will also administer kids vaccines.
There’s about 750 kids in the five to 11 age range in the Sackville area, and in addition to those getting vaccinated in Sackville, appointments are also available at clinics in Moncton. The province said Wednesday that a total of 10,544 first doses of the pediatric vaccine have been administered since appointments opened on Friday, November 26.
Another weekend clinic originally slated for kids vaccines has been switched to administering adult vaccines. Anyone 12 and over looking for first or second doses, or those over 50 looking for booster shots, can book an appointment for this Sunday, December 12, also at the Sackville Visitor Information Centre. Appointments for the 12-and-over vaccine are also available through the Corner Drug Store by registering on their website, but the pharmacy is not administering pediatric vaccines.
As of Monday, the province opened up booster shot eligibility to anyone 50 and over who had their second shot more than 6 months ago. In a release yesterday, the province said anyone who would become eligible at some point in December could book an appointment immediately.
In the past week, New Brunswick gave just under 10,000 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines, almost twice the number administered the previous week. Most of the new shots are first doses, but about 2800 were second shots. As of Wednesday’s report, 78% of New Brunswick’s total population has received at least two shots of a COVID-19 vaccine. That puts New Brunswick slightly behind neighbouring Nova Scotia, where 80% of the population has received two doses.
There were 111 new cases of COVID-19 in the province on Wednesday, eight of which were in Zone 1. The Fredericton and Saint John health zones reported the lion’s share of new cases, with 61 and 23 cases respectively. 74 of the new cases are under investigation.
