Barrie, Ont. — The RVH COVID-19 Immunization Centre on Sperling Drive in Barrie wraps up its full-time service Wednesday. The mass vaccination clinic opened in early 2021 as a partnership between the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU), RVH, and the City of Barrie. Health care workers at the clinic see roughly 2,000 to 3,000 people each week for a vaccine. The clinic's COVID-19 testing site remains open seven days a week from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. It's the largest testing centre in the region.
