BURLINGTON, ON

 

It is easy to complain. However, when the job is well done the people who did the job have to be recognized.

And this morning the Gazette wants to recognize the superb job the Public Health unit in Halton has done with the COVID vaccine registration procedure they put in place and opened up this morning.

Region MoH Meghani

Dr Hamidah Meghani decided no to rely on the province and went ahead and created a vaccination registration program for Halton. She made the right decision. It works.

It works. It is a little complex and some people may need some help if they are not computer literate.

Make sure you have your OHIP card – they need that number.

You get to choose the date you want – if that date is full they will give you the closest date they have. You get to choose the time you want.

You can choose any one of the four locations in the Region.

Read the questions they ask carefully. If you get something wrong – they point out where you made the mistake and you get to correct it.

When you’re done – you print it out. The document you print gives you the date you are to attend and the date for the second shot.

It works.

Thank the people at the Region for a job well done. The province is still working on a registration system. Halton decided that the province might be late so went ahead and created their own.

I’ll let you know how my jab in the arm goes when it is my turn.

Again, a job well done folks.

    one major and stupid communication problem in Halton’s rollout: If you dig into the fine print, you’ll see that “80 years and older” means born in any YEAR before 1942. so if you were born Dec 31, 1941 you are officially 80.

    Did they not have Joseph Brant Hospital listed? It is now a 2nd and more convenient site for Seniors in Burlington. As you say Kudos to the Region and especially the City for listening to the citizens and pushing for a 2nd site.

    Editor’s note. THE vaccination site for Burlington is the Compass Point Bible School.
