\"\"Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott<\/a> announced Thursday that beginning the week of June 28th, all Ontarians 18 and older who got a first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines can book an appointment for a second dose. The exact date has yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

Residents who received the first dose before May 10th, can book starting Monday, June 21st.<\/p>\n

The province hit a milestone in vaccinations this week. 75% of Ontario residents have received a first dose as of Thursday morning, and 19% have had both shots. The reopening of Ontario\u2019s economy was made possible by increasing vaccination rates and a steady drop in new COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n

\"\"To book locally go to GetYourShotCK.ca<\/a>. Chatham-Kent Public Health has a lot of availability this coming Monday and Tuesday at the Bradley Centre clinic in Chatham.<\/p>\n

\n

With a majority of adults having received their 1st dose of the #COVID19<\/a> vaccine and over 3M doses of the Moderna vaccine arriving in June, Ontario is continuing to accelerate its vaccine rollout by expanding eligibility for 2nd doses ahead of schedule. https:\/\/t.co\/fq8KONZ9I4<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ImJQJr5YQD<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"No new positive COVID-19 cases reported Thursday by Chatham-Kent Public Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was 1 recovery, the total active cases is down to 6 locally.<\/p>\n

There were 370 positive cases across Ontario Thursday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s update marks a positivity rate of 1.3%, down from 2% one week ago; that’s the lowest test positivity rate since early October with more than 30,000 tests completed.<\/p>\n

\"\"There was no Lotto Max<\/a> Jackpot winner AGAIN on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"\"Another Canadian lottery record will be set with tonight’s draw. Lotto Max is now at $70 million-plus and an estimated 70 Maxmillions \u2013 that means $140 Million in top prizing available for Friday\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n

Tickets can be purchased until 10:30pm.<\/p>\n

\"\"Father’s Day is Sunday.<\/p>\n

The idea of a special day to honour fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced in the United States. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother’s Day celebrations and planned a day to honour fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910.<\/p>\n

\"\"Father\u2019s Day is observed on the third Sunday of June.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"\"\"Summer is here – well almost here!<\/p>\n

The summer solstice is at 11:32pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

This marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. On average, there is a one-month lag between the solstice and peak summer temperatures. That’s why July is almost always the hottest month of the year in most locations.<\/p>\n

Some refer to it as “the longest day of the year,” but to be precise, it’s the day with the most daylight because every “day” has 24 hours. The amount of daylight will be roughly consistent for a few more days before shrinking each day until the winter solstice in late December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 18th is the 169th day of 2021.
