Barrie's RVH Sperling Drive COVID-19 immunization clinic wraps up operations
The RVH COVID-19 Immunization Centre on Sperling Drive in Barrie wraps up its full-time service Wednesday.
The mass vaccination clinic opened in early 2021 as a partnership between the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), RVH, and the City of Barrie.
Health care workers at the clinic see roughly 2,000 to 3,000 people each week for a vaccine.
The clinic's COVID-19 testing site remains open seven days a week from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. It's the largest testing centre in the region.

Details about pop-up clinics are available on the health unit's website.
Additionally, the health unit offers a GO-VAXX bus that moves to various locations to help vaccinate as many people as possible.
Location information for the GO-VAXX bus can be found here.
