THUNDER BAY — The Matawa Health Cooperative is expanding its COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Thunder Bay.

For three days next week, it will be open to anyone in the city's urban Indigenous population 18 years and older.

It will also be available to their families sharing the same household.

In an announcement Wednesday afternoon, MHC said priority will be given to vulnerable individuals.

The clinics will operate in the CLE Heritage Building on Apr. 21, 22 and 23, between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Appointments are required. They may be made by emailing mhc-reception@matawa.on.ca or by calling 807-346-2370, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

Registrants are required to provide their name, age, First Nation, address and phone number and whether transportation will be required.

Health cards must be presented on arrival.

Individuals who have already received their first vaccine dose will be notified through social media and via phone/email when their second appointment date becomes available.
