WINDSOR, ONT. -- Chatham-Kent Public Health is inviting those residents age 65 and older to book COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

Residents born in 1956 or earlier can call the COVID-19 Vaccination Line at 519-351-1010 to book an appointment.

Residents 65 years and over with a last name starting with A-M are asked to call Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Residents 65 years and over with a last name starting with N-Z can call Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Callers are asked to leave a message anytime, 24 hours a day and the calls are returned Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. (except for Statutory Holidays).
