Tuesday, November 9th, 10 am to 2 pm is primarily a drop-in clinic for the flu shot.  We can't assign times, but you'll get a number when you come and you will go in the order of arrival.  Please bring your Care Card number with you.

This season's flu shot will protect you against:

    influenza A(H1N1)
    influenza A(H3N2)
    influenza B

They will also give the 1st or 2nd covid shot for anyone who has registered on-line or by phone (1-833-838-2323) specifically for this clinic.  They will also give a 3rd covid vaccination to those who bring their letter from the doctor or VIHA saying you are eligible and you have registered.  The covid shot people will be in a separate line because they will have an appointment time and have to be charted, so it takes extra time and a different nurse.  The third covid shot is only for the vulnerable (immuno suppressed) persons at this time.  VIHA was not able to organize a covid booster clinic for every Thetis Islander for Nov. 9th.

NEW INFORMATION:  Jeannine has finally got the ear of someone who can (possibly) do something about the booster shot delay, and they have said they will try to arrange a separate clinic here on Thetis for 3rd shots in December, when most of us will be eligible again (more than 6 months since the June 16 clinic).
