The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) is now providing regular updates on the progress of COVID-19 vaccination efforts across its jurisdiction. The EOHU will update the COVID-19 Vaccine Status Report weekly, on Thursdays. More frequent updates may be shared if new information requires urgent release. Please note that the EOHU vaccine distribution plan is adjusted anytime new direction is received from the province.
As of Thursday, February 25, 5,921 people across the EOHU’s territory had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Please be assured that the EOHU is undertaking every effort to distribute the vaccines as soon as they are received in order to protect as many of our residents as possible, as quickly as possible. It remains extremely important to continue following public health precautions – even if you have received the vaccine – until a large majority of residents in our region have been vaccinated.
