The local pharmacy, which is located at 2501 Third Line, is one of 20 Ontario Shop- pers Drug Marts that will be partnering with the Ontario government to provide this service to eligible residents. It is the only Shoppers location offering 24-7 COVID-19 vaccinations in Halton. Residents can book appointments, and Shoppers said their stores offering 24-7 vaccinations will accept walk-ins whenev- er possible. "As Ontario continues to battle the third wave of COVID-19, our stores and pharmacy teams are stepping up to sup- port our patients and communities," said Jeff Leger, president of Shoppers Drug Mart, in a press release. "With the Ontario government's recent announcement making more Ontarians eligible for vaccines, we believe 24-hour sites, particularly focused on the commu- nities hardest hit in this wave, will help protect more people, quickly." Individuals 40 years old and up are eligi- ble to receive the AstraZeneca/Covishield through Ontario's pharmacies. Appointment availability will be depen- dent on vaccine supply.
