KAMLOOPS — Interior Health is launching urban mobile immunization clinics offering easy access, same-day COVID-19 vaccines for people to get their first dose.
The urban mobile immunization clinics start next week and will target neighbourhoods in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Penticton. The clinics will be providing first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to people who are 12 and older (born in 2009 or earlier). Appointments are not required.
“We’ve had great success with our mobile immunization clinics targeting our rural and remote communities and we are now using that experience to launch mobile clinics for urban neighbourhoods,” Interior Health President and CEO Susan Brown said. “This is another way to make sure vaccine is easily accessible to provide everyone an opportunity to get vaccinated.”
Kamloops has two clinics scheduled between July 1 and 3, and between July 13 and 15, both between 12:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Location is to be determined.
