Ottawa vaccination clinic cancels appointments due to staffing shortage
CTV
An Ottawa vaccination clinic says it has cancelled upcoming appointments through Jan. 7 because of a staffing shortage.
In a tweet, the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre said it would be calling anyone with appointments in that time to reschedule.
Executive director Kelli Tonner told CTV News Ottawa that six members of the clinic's staff are in isolation, limiting their ability to offer services.
"We have had some staff that have had exposure to Omicron and are isolating," Tonner said. "We also have to ensure that we are continuing with our core services - you know our food programs and our primary care - so we made the difficult decision to pause our clinics."
Tonner said the community health centre had administered vaccines to more than 1,000 people in the past ten days before they had to shut down.
