Interior Health Vaccine Bookings

Interior Health opens COVID-19 vaccine bookings March 8

Mar 6, 2021 | 3:30 PM

KAMLOOPS — Seniors aged 90 and over, and Indigenous peoples aged 65 and over, can finally book their COVID-19 vaccine appointments.

Interior Health will open its call centre on Monday, March 8. The call centre will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and seniors can book appointments by calling 1-877-740-7747.

Seniors are urged to take caution of potential fraud cases, as call centres will never ask for financial information, credit card details, or social insurance numbers.

Interior Health’s call centre will only ask for:

• legal name
• date of birth
• postal code
• personal health number (PHN) from the back of B.C. driver’s licences or B.C. services cards
• current contact information, including an email address you or your family checks regularly or a phone number that can receive text messages
