With live music, therapy dogs, and smoothies, Interior Health takes comfort-based approach to vaccinations
KAMLOOPS — With live music, therapy dogs on site, and free smoothies, Interior Health aimed to make the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC) vaccination clinic feel laid-back and approachable this week.
Walk-In Wednesday is part of a provincial initiative to boost vaccine uptake. Today (Aug. 4) a brass band performed in the TCC, free smoothies were offered to the first 100 walk-ins, and St. John’s Ambulance brought a team of therapy dogs.
Kris Weatherman is an IH project lead for mass immunization and says those who have come in have appreciated the efforts.
