COVID Booster Shots

Many Thetis Islanders have received notification that they can now register for getting their COVID booster shots. 

The Chief called Immunize BC to ask how this opening up affected our plans for a COVID clinic here on Thetis in January.  They told her that we are still getting a clinic here in January (we will let you know as soon as we have an exact date) and they advise anyone who can wait without disadvantage to do so, as the Vancouver Island clinics will be very busy.  But if you need or want your shot earlier, go ahead and register for it (online or at 1-833-838-2323) and go off-island to get it whenever they can give you an appointment. 

It's up to you, but we're still having a clinic here too, after the Christmas rush.
