Based on high vaccination rates in our community and a significant drop in appointment bookings, the Bora Laskin COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic will be closing on Friday, July 23rd. 

The operation of our Bora Laskin COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic was an incredible endeavor and its success is a testament to the outstanding efforts of all staff, professional staff, and volunteers who were involved. Your hard work and dedication was instrumental in significantly increasing the level of protection against COVID-19 for our staff, professional staff, patients and community. Thank you to all for your contributions.
As services ramp down, we will not be promoting walk-in appointments for the Bora Laskin clinic next week (July 19-23). Instead, community members will be encouraged to attend the Thunder Bay District Health Unit’s (TBDHU) community COVID-19 vaccination clinics. All vaccine shipments going forward will also be directed to TBDHU, with the exception of a small supply that will be maintained for our Hospital’s inpatient vaccination program.

Clinic staff are currently working to contact any clients with outstanding appointments booked for August and September in order to reschedule them for next week before the clinic closes, or to redirect them to the TBDHU clinics.

All Hospital staff who were redeployed to the Bora Laskin clinic will be able to return to their previous positions. All other staff will be given the appropriate amount of warning prior to their positions being completed, as there will still be some administrative work to do after the clinic shuts down to appointments.

Thank you again to everyone who was involved in this extremely important work. Our community is safer because of you.
