Community COVID-19 vaccine clinics return for kids and booster shots

Vaccine clinics will be coming back to rural and remote communities in the Interior Health region.

The health agency is looking to provide the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11, and booster shots for people over 18.

The clinics will start in December.

“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,” said Interior Health president and CEO, Susan Brown. “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.”
