John McGivney Children’s Centre Hosting WECHU COVID-19 Vaccine Pop-Up Mobile Clinics

December 10, 2021

The John McGivney Children’s Centre (JMCC) is hosting Windsor-Essex County Health Unit COVID-19 Vaccine pop-up mobile clinics over three days in December.
 
“Children and youth receiving services at JMCC have special needs, and their families have very full lives that make it difficult to make it to vaccine locations. Offering the clinics here gives them the convenience and flexibility they need to make it as easy as possible to get vaccinated,” said Jessica Sartori JMCC CEO.

The walk-in clinics are also open to everyone in Windsor-Essex. “We take the health and safety of everyone in our community seriously,” adds Sartori.  “The more opportunities we provide to our community, the better.”
