WRH Receives 3rd Pfizer Vaccine Shipment
12-1-2021
Today, Windsor Regional Hospital (WRH) received its third shipment of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines.
This latest shipment will allow for more individuals to be vaccinated. However, we have started second doses today and will be doing nothing but second doses starting January 24, 2021, unless more are procured by the federal government and sent to Windsor-Essex.
Nearly 5,600 individuals had received an initial vaccination as of yesterday.
The first individuals were vaccinated starting on December 22, 2020 from a shipment received the day before. A second shipment was received on January 5, 2021. Without today’s shipment, WRH would have run out of its remaining doses by the end of tomorrow (January 13).
"We are 'stealing' future doses by putting as many vaccines into people’s arms as possible as directed by the Province. It is the right thing to do,” said WRH President and CEO David Musyj.
Windsor Regional Hospital has been vaccinating 500 people a day focusing on the priority groups set by the Province. More information about Ontario’s vaccination program can be found online.
