First Peterborough Retirement Residence Received First Mass Dose of COVID-19 Vaccination
/It was all smiles for the residents and staff of Canterbury Gardens as they all received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Friday.
It was the first retirement home in Peterborough to receive the mass vaccination. The most vulnerable residents were the ones to receive the shot first as the oldest resident had the honourary first shot.

“It was an exciting day for all of us at Canterbury Gardens Retirement Residence,” said Sarah Beaudoin, Canterbury Gardens Manager Resident Services.
Peterborough Public Health (PPH) had these vaccinations as a test run for online and telephone booking that will take place region-wide. It will be used once more vaccines have become more available. PPH has yet to announce when the booking process will be publicly open.
