On Monday, March 15 at 8 a.m., the province's vaccine booking system went live, allowing eligible residents from Simcoe-Muskoka to book their appointments directly on the provincial website.
However, some Bradford residents experienced technical issues, allowing them to book their appointments, only to be cancelled moments later.
According to the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), there were a few glitches that caused the errors as the local site migrated to the provincial booking system.
Upcoming vaccine clinics in Bradford will take place at Bob Fallis Sports Centre next Friday and Saturday.
Bradford residents 80+ are able to book their appointments directly on the provincial booking system here.
Those in other Phase 1 Priority Groups including Indigenous adults and their household members, adult recipients of home care, health care workers, and essential caregivers of longterm care and retirement homes must pre-book through the SMDHU website first. Once pre-registered, you will receive an invitation to book on the provincial website when an appointment becomes available.
