Interior Health is once again planning to host whole community COVID-19 vaccine clinics in rural and remote communities.
In a statement, the health authority says it will be for people over the age of 18 who are due for their COVID-19 booster dose as well as for children age five to 11 who will be getting the COVID-19 pediatric vaccine.
Clinics will begin in December and these community members will be notified directly by Immunizations BC when it is time to book their appointment.
“Early in our vaccine rollout this spring, we held immunizations clinics for people living in rural and remote communities to make it easier for people to get vaccinated right away,” IHA President and CEO, Susan Brown, said, in a prepared statement.
“We are on the way back to these communities to provide booster doses and immunization for kids who are now eligible for pediatric COVID-19 vaccines.”
People are being encouraged to register themselves and their children for vaccine appointments either online here or by phone at 1‑833‑838‑2323.
Anyone over the age of 12 who hasn’t yet got a first or second dose of the vaccine is also being encouraged to either book an appointment or drop-in at these clinics when it gets underway.
