In two months, you can get vaccinated in upcoming clinics on Lasqueti Island.
The qathet Regional District has announced two vaccine clinics set to run in Judith Fisher Centre, where community members can get vaccinated for COVID-19 or other illnesses in the summer.
They say spring COVID boosters are recommended for adults aged 65 and older, Indigenous adults aged 55 and older, and those aged 6 months and older who are very vulnerable.
They recommend booking appointments by calling 1-833-838-2323 or going to www.getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca after you get your invite by email, text or phone call.
For all other vaccines, the district says you can book an appointment by calling nurse Diane McClure at 250-240-5712 or by emailing her at lasquetihealthcentre@gmail.com. For both clinics, drop-ins are welcome.
The clinic for COVID and general immunizations will open June 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., while the clinic for only general immunizations opens June 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
