VACCINE CLINIC NOV 18TH – FLU, COVID AND RSV

This just in... Island Health immunizers will bring RSV vaccine to these flu/COVID-19 clinics on Thetis Island. Individuals aged 75+ and Indigenous individuals aged 60+ who are eligible for this publicly funded RSV vaccine can ask about receiving it when they attend the clinic. There is no need to book a separate RSV vaccine appointment.

Note this is different from what I was originally told. As a reminder the clinic is on Nov 18th. Thetis Island is now on the registration site so once you have your invitation please register. This allows the nurses to know how much vaccine to bring.
