A sensory-friendly COVID-19 vaccination clinic is planned for Timmins.

Tuesday, July 6 there will be a special clinic at Covenant United Church, 230 8th Ave. 

While the health unit says it's targeted for youth 12 years and older, adults who prefer to attend a clinic with limited distractions can also book an appointment.

The clinic includes measures such as:

  • The pace will be slowed down to allow more time for individual immunizations
  • The noise will be kept as low as possible 
  • A private immunization station will be available 

"Individuals attending the clinic are encouraged to bring items that may be helpful to them which can include fidget spinners, stress balls, a tablet or phone or a weighted blanket," reads the bulletin. 

To book an appointment, call the health unit at 705-360-4819.
