Friday, June 4, 2021 at 5:57PM Island Health’s immunization team will return to Thetis Island to conduct COVID-19 vaccine clinics starting June 16 to provide second doses, along with first doses for those who have not yet been vaccinated, including 12–17-year-olds.
Residents who have received their second dose booking notice will be able to book in to this clinic beginning Monday, June 7 at 9 am. Please follow the link from the text or email you received inviting you to book your second dose.
Thetis residents who received their first dose on April 28 or 29 will receive an invitation to book their second dose sooner than 8 weeks so they can participate in this clinic. If you do not receive an invitation to book and your clinic is a week away, please call 1-833-838-2323 to have the booking agent schedule your second dose into the “Whole Community Clinic” on Thetis.
If you had your first dose more than 8 weeks ago and have not received a notification to book your second dose, you may not be registered in the provincial vaccination booking system. Please register by going to www.GetVaccinated.gov.bc.ca or call 1-833-838-2323.
Please note that we will try our best to provide the same brand of mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) for second doses that were used for first doses, but due to supply issues it may not always be possible. It is both safe and effective to use Moderna and Pfizer mRNA vaccines interchangeably.
For more information about the provincial registration system or how to get vaccinated for COVID-19 visit the BC government website.
For information on Island Health’s Whole Community Clinics visit the Island Health website.
If you have questions about Island Health’s clinics in your region please contact Kristen Gregson, Area Director, Central Island Immunization Clinics, at Kristen.Gregson@viha.ca or 250-217-5939.

We share in the grief and outrage expressed across B.C., Canada and the world for the trauma and harms done at the Kamloops residential school – and all residential schools – to so many children, their families, and communities.
As First Nations work to determine the next steps at that site and other possible sites in the province, it is important that we take our guidance from the respective First Nations.
The Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc are leading the response and next steps. The community has asked everyone to reacquaint themselves with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Final Report and Calls to Action, and for people to wear orange shirts as an act of solidarity and to start conversations.
Truth and Reconciliation Committee Reports
Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future. Summary of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada: https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Executive_Summary_English_Web.pdf
Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action: https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf
On May 27 the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc reported finding remains of 215 children buried on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.
So many children were forever taken from families and communities that loved them, and who could not properly mourn them and put them to rest. Last week’s announcement makes that truth real, and very painful.
The immense sense of loss, grief and pain felt by those families and communities is unimaginable and our thoughts are with the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, Indigenous communities across Canada and Indigenous peoples on the BC Wildfire Service team.
We acknowledge with deep respect the work of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, as caretakers of these children.
This discovery is a stark reminder of the importance of reconciliation, holding space for the past and doing everything we can to build a better future.
The BC Wildfire Service joined the province in lowering flags to half-mast to honour and respect the stolen children from the former Kamloops Residential School and residential schools across the country.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process. There is much more to be done, and we are fully committed to doing this work.
Every day our team take steps to strengthen relationships with the Indigenous communities and nations we work in and protect around the province.
