Arnprior has held its first community COVID-19 vaccination clinic for designated priority groups.
The first Nick Smith Centre vaccination clinic immunized 432 residents and there are plans for additional clinics over the next week.
Priscila Penha, a local Arnprior resident and living assistant at L’Arche Arnprior, a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, had her chance to get vaccinated at Thursday’s clinic.
