Kingsville residents are next in line for the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit’s ongoing distribution of potassium iodide pills.

The pills block the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine that may be released during a nuclear incident.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has mandated that all residents within the primary zone of a nuclear installation have KI pills available in their homes.
