Peterborough Public Health Launches Campaign for COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility

Together with its municipal partners the City and County of Peterborough, Peterborough Public Health launched its “Notify Me” campaign to make it easier for residents to find out when they can receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

All residents need to do is visit Peterborough Public Health’s “Notify Me” site to sign up with their email address and indicate which group(s) they want to be notified about.

When local clinics and healthcare providers are ready to serve that group in the coming weeks, Peterborough Public Health will send an email to those on the mailing list explaining how to book a vaccination appointment.

No personal information will be collected. All email addresses gathered through the form will be stored securely until use. They will be deleted after the final notification is issued once Phase 3 vaccinations begin.

“With a rapidly changing vaccine distribution plan and other Ontario regions opening up eligibility for different groups at different times, it can be confusing to know when it’s your turn to book an appointment,” said Brittany Cadence, Communications Manager with Peterborough Public Health. “By simply providing us with your email address, we hope to provide peace of mind.”

Peterborough Public Health is only able to notify people by email and encourages those without an email address to ask a loved one with an email address to sign up on their behalf.

As a reminder, you are not signing up to receive the vaccine. You must also be in the eligible population to sign up to receive the vaccine. More information about eligibility will be available on the Peterborough Public Health vaccine webpage.

To sign up to receive a notification when COVID-19 vaccine eligibility opens up to a specific group, please visit Peterborough Public Health’s “Notify Me” link.
