WATERLOO - Constituents are contacting my office every week, asking about COVID test kits and telling me that they're disappointed because they can't find any.
To date, I have not been able to find any consistent information, so my office has done the work of contacting all 149 pharmacies in the Waterloo-Wellington Region to check on the availability of tests.
Some pharmacists voiced their frustration at the lack of details.
"I haven't received any tests, and I don't know when I will get them."
"I have no idea who has them in town."
"My shipment's late, and I don't know when it will arrive."
"We're sold out, and I don't know if we can get more."
The pharmacies listed below said they have kits, either free of charge or for sale ($14-$25, depending on the pharmacy).
- Availability is changing all the time, so please call ahead to check if tests are still in stock, and if you qualify to receive them.
