“The booking agent will let you know when and where your clinic will take place. You may also ask a friend or relative to book this on your behalf. You will be asked for your full name, date of birth, postal code, your personal health number and a phone number that you can receive text messages on, or an email address that you or your family check often, in case we need to send you important information,” reads a March 12 memo from Island Health.
The entire adult population age 18+ of Tofino and Ucluelet will be invited to participate in a vaccine clinic at a future date that will be determined, notes the memo from Island Health.
