The Village of Fraser Lake is monitoring the Covid-19 situation closely. Below are reputable links to provincial resources and to keep yourself informed.
Northern Health COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution
NH is now planning whole community 18+ clinics for the following communities (Do NOT call into book until the call-in date – the number to call will be made available at that time):
Community Clinic weeks Call-in Date
Fraser Lake April 12 and April 19 18+ April 2
Things are changing quickly. The best resource for information continues to be the Northern Health website’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan page, as well as local Northern Health Community Facebook groups.
The ‘whole community’ approach to vaccinating residents all at once is due to population size, remoteness, logistics, and/or accessibility – and these can be expanded to address outbreaks, clusters or high population incidence rates.
The Northern Health call centre to book COVID-19 appointments, based on age range and local eligibility, continues to operate 7am to 7pm PST, seven days a week. Clinic dates and locations will be confirmed at the time of booking.
Eligibility and the call number may differ in your community. Again, Northerners are encouraged to visit the Northern Health website for details on their local appointment eligibility schedules – and to call based on those dates to help helping the booking system operate more smoothly and ensure those who are eligible can be booked quickly and efficiently.
