Naila Bedford, Community Services Manager, Northern Health

Naila was the volunteer coordinator for the vaccine clinics held in Prince Rupert.  She reports that in Prince Rupert, of those eligible for the vaccine, 80% have received the first vaccination.  The take-up on the second dose is lower at 68%. 
 
Every Friday from 9:00-3:30 there is a vaccination clinic at the Prince Rupert Community Health Centre located in the Ocean Centre Mall.  You can register on-line and drop-ins are also welcome.
The most important message for us all is that Covid is not over!  If you have symptoms:
Stay Home----Isolate-----Get Tested.
 
Testing numbers are way down since the first vaccination clinic.  The Community Health Centre provides testing services on Monday and Friday.  If demand increases, more day(s) will be added.
