Dates for flu and Covid vaccination clinics in the Northwest Territories have been made public on the territorial health authority’s website.

The website now shows dates in November for Yellowknife, late October for Fort Smith and Hay River, and mid-October in Inuvik.

Not all communities have specific dates. Some residents are told to contact their local health centre instead.

“Clinic opportunities started for a few smaller communities earlier in this week, while most of the clinics will begin to roll out across the territory towards the end of October and well into November, once vaccine supplies have been received and distributed,” the NWT’s health authority stated.

“Dates may be added as demand increases and residents are encouraged to check the webpage for updates throughout the season.”
