COVID-19 Information from the Durham Region Health Department
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Health Department hosted a virtual Town Hall on Thursday, December 2 for parents and guardians of children ages 5 – 11 to receive information about the pediatric COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine and have their questions answered. The informative session was a great opportunity for over 500 participants to hear from a panel of local medical and health care professionals. The recorded virtual Town Hall session is now available for those who were not able to attend.
Check out these videos for a tour of the Durham Region Health Department's children's clinic and to hear from four young Durham residents who are happy to have received their COVID-19 vaccine.
