UPDATE: As of today the January 10th clinic is full and they are booking for the 11th.
Island Health’s COVID-19 immunization team is returning to Cortes Island in early 2022 to provide COVID-19 immunizations for all eligible people age five and older, including:
- First doses for children aged five to 11
- First and second doses for teens and adults aged 12 and over
- Booster doses for adults aged 18+ who are at least six months past their second dose
Appointments are required. Advance booking helps us prepare supplies before travelling to your community and ensures that your spot in line is reserved.
To make an appointment please ensure that you are registered in the provincial ‘Get Vaccinated’ system. This is fast and easy and can be done online at www.GetVaccinated.gov.bc.ca or by calling 1-833-838-2323*. After registering, you will get an invitation via email, text or phone call when you can book an appointment. Your invitation does not expire. If you have already received an invitation and you’ve been waiting for your local clinic to show up in the booking system please check back regularly.
The current whole community clinic schedule is listed below. If your community does not have a confirmed clinic date yet do not worry – it will be confirmed soon and we will notify your community directly as soon as possible. Information will also be updated on our website.
IMPORTANT: Clinic schedules may change according to demand. If appointments are not available when you try to book, please check back again later.
*Editor's Note:
The clinic is at the Gorge Hall on Robertson Road, Whaletown**. If you make the appointment by phone, and mention Cortes Island, they may or not be able to find the clinic so make sure you mention Gorge Hall, Robertson Road, Whaletown.
