Residents who haven’t yet received their vaccine, or children who need a second dose, will still be able to get the vaccine through participating healthcare providers, the Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie, or at an Eastern Ontario Health Unit office.

To date, the total number of H1N1 vaccines administered in the five Eastern Counties is approximately 71,000, or one-third of the population.
