Northern Health along with the Provincial Health Officer have jointly approved a whole-community approach to immunizing residents of Prince Rupert.
This means that beginning on Friday, March 12, residents of Prince Rupert and Port Edward can call a dedicated number to book an appointment for Covid-19 immunization, clinics will begin Monday March 15 and continue until April 1. The dedicated phone number will be made available soon.
Vaccinations will be happening in groups with the older residents being vaccinated first. If you wish to get a vaccine you need to phone ahead to book an appointment.
People between the age of 65 to 90 will have to call on March 12 and 13 to book their vaccination. This group will get vaccinated March 15 to March 20. People between the ages of 50 and 64 can call March 14 and 15 to get vaccinated between March 22 and 27. While people 40 to 49 can call March 17 and 17 to receive their vaccination between March 22 and 27. People between the ages of 18 and 39 will be able to call from March 18 and onwards to receive their vaccine between March 29 and April 1.
Immunization clinics for Prince Rupert and Port Edward residents will be held at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.
