As cold, flu and covid season ramp up, so are the flu and covid vaccine clinics in the Northern Health Region.

They began yesterday in Thompson and will run again today from 10 to 6 at the St. Lawrence Hall.

There are two more clinics scheduled for November 3rd from 10 to 6 pm and on November 4th from 1 to 5, also at the St. Lawrence Hall.

Bruce Krentz, Health Promotion Coordinator with the NHR, has more.

“Come on down and bring your health card if you’ve got it, no appointments are necessary just swing on down! We want as many people to get vaccinated as we can so please get on down and get that done. In the meantime, don’t be shy about wearing a mask, keep washing your hands and watch your distance.”

Krentz said Northern Health Region facilities are back to requiring mask wearing, especially in one-on-one visits.

As a reminder, you can receive both flu and COVID vaccines at the same time.
