Island Health scaling back Comox Valley COVID-19 immunization clinic

“Appointments are also readily available for people who prefer that option, and expert immunizers are ready and willing to support anyone who needs extra time or accommodation during their appointment,” Island Health notes.

As of yesterday, Island Health says 81 per cent of eligible Island residents received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 74 per cent are fully vaccinated.
