Please avoid contacting HPEPH to inquire if your age group is eligible to ensure our phone lines remain available to those who need them most.
HPEPH’s COVID-19 Vaccine Roll Out Plan will help facilitate the efficient and effective delivery of the COVID-19 vaccines in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and aligns with the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Plan. As part of our effort to ensure transparent information sharing with all partners and the public, we will be providing a vaccination status update each week.
Please note: We are working to deliver vaccinations to groups eligible as part of Phase 1, and are not currently taking appointments for COVID-19 vaccine immunizations from the general public.
Many people are calling to ask when we are vaccinating their age group. We are currently offering vaccine to eligible groups who have been contacted directly by HPEPH or their workplace.
In order to keep our phone lines free for those who are currently eligible, please do NOT contact us to inquire about vaccinations unless you have been invited to participate.
Our local plan is adjusted anytime new direction is received from the province.
A daily update of that have been administered by HPEPH staff can be viewed on our COVID 19 Dashboard.

The Town of Deseronto is rich in Heritage.
Deseronto was founded on Loyalist, Mohawk, military, and industrial roots, which has contributed significantly to its history and continues to both define and be embraced by the Town today.
Deseronto’s history as a settlement can be traced back to the period just after the American War of Independence when the British Government obtained grants of lands on the north side of Lake Ontario from the Mississauga people.
Deseronto was incorporated as a Town in 1889. By the 1890s it was home to 4,000 people, many of whom worked in the Rathbun Company’s concerns, which included a sash and door factory, shipyard, railway car works, terra cotta factory, flour mill, gas works, and chemical works.
Deseronto’s Loyalist, Mohawk, and industrial heritage continue to influence the town. Our heritage is celebrated through the preservation and commemoration of historic buildings, events, sites, and documents and through activities to enhance awareness and appreciation of our past.

**Safety reminder**
Stay off and away from ice mounds that form on Lake Ontario.
Lake Ontario shoreline ice mounds
During most winters huge mounds of ice form along with parts of the Lake Ontario shoreline.
They may look compelling to climb on but they are EXTREMELY dangerous.
They can break apart at any time, they are very slippery and if one was to fall into the water on the lakeside of these mounds, getting out of the water is virtually impossible.
STAY AWAY.
Enjoy their beauty from a distance.
