They should, though I believe it is possible to phone up Waterloo Region Public Health and get help booking an appointment that way. They have a phone number for both TTY and voice calls on the pre-registration page.
The problem is, to find that information you need the Internet. I have no idea what the number is. And you need a phone, many with low income don't even have that.
Our PHU health unit has done a terrible job. And why they never bothered with the homeless is beyond my grasp. Can't reiterate enough -- those people don't have internet, don't have phones, and many lack ID. Same applies to newer immigrants and lower income families.
They could have flyer out the next business day to every mailbox to inform people. But our task force doesn't seem motivated. Put someone else in the top that knows what they're doing and can provide good leadership. I am also question Dr. Wang as she supports this invalid idea that it's the general public causing spread (it's been WRPS, LTC, and homeless shelters).
