Kamloops residents line up for first dose of COVID-19 vaccine
KAMLOOPS — After months of waiting for their COVID-19 vaccine, hundreds of Kamloops residents lined up at McArthur Island on Monday (March 15) to receive their first dose.
The first public clinic opened in Kamloops, marking the start of a six-month plan to get everyone in the city — who wants it — vaccinated. Interior Health nurses were busy inoculating the 408 people who booked appointments for day one of public vaccinations.
“I’m really happy to get it, get back to my way of life again,” said Georgina Cavanagh, who received her first dose.
