The COVID-19 vaccine that was supposed to be getting to Kitamaat Village this week has been delayed, a recent news release by the Haisla Nation Council (HNC) said.

Haisla Nation was supposed to be getting the vaccine sometime this week, but with the national Pfizer-BioNTech shortage, HNC said First Nations Health Authority hasn’t been able to guarantee a supply for the Village at this time.

HNC added that everyone who registered will remain on the list and will be notified once a supply does become available.
