Flu & covid vaccine shortage

Mélissa Gélinas

Seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccines have been offered at the Aylmer Local Service Point, located at 178 Rue Principale, since the start of the fall vaccination campaign. However, high demand has led to a lack of availability. Pharmacies in Aylmer are out of the shots, with the nearest location being Plateau area or Hull.

To meet the needs of the population, the Outaouais Integrated Health and Social Services Centre (CISSSO) has confirmed that additional appointments will be made available, particularly on upcoming Saturdays, and can be booked through the Clic-Santé platform.

Note that it is also possible to call 819-776-6116, extension 1, if appointment times are not shown on https://portal3.clicsante.ca/.
