PRINCE GEORGE – The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) will hold a second dose Moderna vaccine clinic in Prince George this week to ensure Indigenous people living away from home have access to life-saving immunization in a culturally safe and welcoming environment.

All are invited to attend the clinic at the House of Ancestors, located at 355 Vancouver
Street, on July 21 and July 22 from 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

“Our own First Nations doctors are urging everyone to get a second dose vaccine as soon as possible because of the strong protection it offers against the COVID-19 virus and the variants that are responsible for a new wave of cases across the world.The sooner we all have our two shots, the safer we will all be,” said Julie Morrison, FNHA Acting Vice-President for Regional Operations. “We owe it to ourselves, our families, and our communities to make the right choice. Your vaccine is waiting for you.”

There will be a blessing ceremony at 9 a.m. each day.

In two rounds of vaccinations, the First Nations Health Authority’s Northern Region has supported over 150 vaccination clinics in 55 communities and three Urban and Away from Home Dose 1 clinics in Prince George, Terrace, and Fort St. John.
