The Main Street of the South Shore was expected to be one of the new cold storage sites where the necessary equipment to house all types of COVID-19 vaccines will be situated.
In a statement released January 19, the province indicated Bridgewater's location was to be established by February 1.
Within the next three months, Bridgewater will also be a place where a vaccine clinic for health-care workers will open so professionals involved in the COVID-19 response have access, in addition to staff, residents and designated caregivers in long-term care and residential care facilities.
The Bridgewater clinic and storage news comes as the province continues its vaccine rollout plans.
