York Region COVID-19 mass vaccination clinics scheduled to close by end of August

Mobile and pop-up clinics will continue and support a more targeted approach

The Regional Municipality of York is making excellent progress in administering COVID-19 vaccinations. To date, approximately 81% of residents age 12+ have received their first dose and more than 71% of residents age 12+ are fully vaccinated.

The Town of Georgina is in Step 3 of the Province of Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopen, which came into effect on July 16. As vaccination rates continue to rise and COVID-19 cases drop, the Town is now reopening some facilities for public use. Public health and workplace safety measures will continue to apply, including maintaining physical distance, capacity limits, and wearing face coverings in indoor spaces and whenever physical distancing is a challenge.

The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that 30-40mm of rainfall is forecast for today and through the weekend to early/mid next week. Higher amounts of rainfall may occur in localized areas as a result of thunderstorm activity. 

This combined with recent rainfall is posing a risk of flooding along the Lake Simcoe shoreline.
