Where to get a COVID-19 vaccine without an appointment

Share
Barrie, Ont. -

The Simcoe Muskoka health unit is offering COVID-19 vaccinations at several walk-in clinics as the Ontario government announces that proof of immunization will be required to access non-essential businesses.

Officials anticipate the vaccine certificate will prompt hesitant or unwilling residents to roll up their sleeves for the shot.

"People who might have been sitting on the fence are going to say, 'Wow, if I want to participate in non-essential activities, go to non-essential businesses, like restaurants, like bars, like concerts or whatever, I need a vaccine. I'm going to go get one,'" said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases specialist.

In Simcoe Muskoka, 82 per cent of those 12 and older have had at least one dose of the vaccine, including 77 per cent of students 12 to 17.

Still, the health unit would like to see those numbers increase as schools reopen in less than a week.

Here's a list of walk-in vaccination clinics open Sept. 1 to Sept. 17:

Do these exercises for core strength if you can't stomach doing planks

Planks are one of the most effective exercises for strengthening your midsection, as they target all of your major core muscles: the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, external obliques and internal obliques. Yet despite the popularity of various 10-minute plank challenges, planking is actually one of the most dreaded core exercises, according to many fitness experts.
