SWPH has updated the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility in our region to include childcare workers.
OXFORD/ELGIN/ST.THOMAS - Southwestern Public Health has updated the COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility in our region.
Starting today you can book your vaccine if you fall into the following categories:
Childcare workers who are aged 18 or older, defined specifically as:
- Licensees, employees, and students on an educational placement who interact directly with children in licensed childcare centres and in authorized recreation and skill-building programs.
- Licensed home childcare and in-home service providers, employees of a home childcare agency, and students on an educational placement who interact daily with children in a licensed home childcare setting.
Eligibility will be expanded to workers in unlicensed childcare settings by the Province in the near future.
How to book or pre-register:
- If you operate a licensed childcare facility, public health will soon contact you with details about how your workers can book their appointment.
- If you operate or work in a childcare setting that is not licensed, please pre-register as an essential workplace at swpublichealth.ca/preregisteracohort. You are not yet eligible to book an appointment, but will be in the coming weeks.
