IMPORTANT ** Covid Clinic Update**

We will definitely be having a vaccination clinic for people born in 1941 or earlier on MARCH 19 next Friday, at the firehall.  We will be getting instructions on how to register soon.  

In order to fit more people into that date for the limited number of vaccines coming on March 19th, I have been asked to figure out how many under-80s are interested in getting the covid vaccination.

Please find your category below and email us ASAP.  We will need this info by Monday.  I can then let everyone know which categories can be accommodated next Friday for this first go-round and how many will be attending at the next clinic they schedule.

Category 1.    Born in 1941 or earlier
Category 2.    Born between 1942 and 1946
Category 3.    Born between 1947 and 1951
Category 4.    Born between 1952 and 1956
Category 5.    Born between 1957 and 1961
Category 6.    Born between 1962 and 1966
Category 7.     Born between 1967 and 1971
Category 8.    Born 1972 and later and are now 18 years old or older

Choose your category and send your name to covidclinic@thetisislandfire.ca
This is not a registration!  This is simply an attempt to gather numbers in the various age categories so that VIHA knows how many people want the vaccination on Thetis and can plan accordingly.

Please let your non-internet neighbours know and ask if they want to get vaccinated and which category they are in and include them in your answer.   Or ask them to call Veronica at 246-1509 and state their category.

BC Cancer and BC Centre for Disease Control have stated that the vaccines are likely very safe for cancer patients. 

We are most likely receiving the Moderna vaccine on Thetis Island.
