It’s October! Do you know what that means?! Beautiful fall colours, pumpkin spiced lattes, hockey begins… oh! And you can get a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine! Yes, individuals 18 years of age or older can now receive a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine at least three months after receiving a previous booster dose; however, it’s recommended that individuals receive a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine six months after receiving a previous booster dose ( https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-vaccines?gclid=CjwKCAjws--ZBhAXEiwAv-RNL5OhHQF0D879TWLwQvBG_UNW19SsDXaXcprP34w_XIps0vYWV2xyVBoCR10QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds -2 ). Bivalent COVID-19 vaccine appointments are available at Peterborough Square (Ontario.ca/BookVaccine), and local pharmacies (linktr.ee/covid19ptbo).

COVID-19 update: If you were at the Peterborough Lakers game last week, I’d recommend that you monitor yourself for COVID-19 symptoms. According to a source, many people looking for non-ER care have reportedly contracted COVID-19 after attending the Lakers game. There doesn’t appear to be an increase in wastewater viral load; however, PCR test case counts and hospitalizations have both increased, since last week, according to PPH’s COVID-19 dashboard.

“Ontario’s chief medical officer has denied a request by local public health officials to resume mandatory masking in schools, pharmacies or other workplaces, saying it is not necessary at this time.

According to PPH’s dashboard, there is a pretty large outbreak at a long-term care home (although, it’s unclear which LTC home). In the May 2nd report, there were a total of 289 cases linked to LTC outbreaks. In today’s report, there were a total of 397 cases linked to LTC outbreaks (+108 cases). I hope that within the next couple of days, this information will be available in the Ontario database or on the affected LTC home website. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdKLm5kuP1_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Update on this ⬆️: From Centennial Place Long-Term Care Home: “Unfortunately, the COVID outbreak at Centennial Place continues. In fact, we have experienced a rather large surge in cases in two of our home areas.”
