A vaccination clinic opened at the University of Victoria on Monday.
Island Health will operate the COVID-19 vaccination clinic out of the McKinnon Gym during phase two and three of the B.C. COVID-19 Immunization Plan – phases designated for people 60 and older and those who are clinically vulnerable.
The clinic will be staffed and managed by Island Health, while the university provides the venue, parking and janitorial support. The clinic is one of more than 30 vaccination sites opening across Vancouver Island.
