The NWT’s health authority has released its 2025 flu vaccine schedule.
Clinics are primarily for this year’s influenza vaccine, though the Covid-19 immunization will also be available upon request, the authority stated.
In many communities – Fort Simpson, Fort Liard, Jean Marie River, Nahanni Butte, Sambaa K’e, Wrigley, Fort McPherson, Aklavik, Paulatuk, Ulukhaktok, Colville Lake, Łútsël K’é, Fort Resolution, Hay River, Enterprise and Kátł’odeeche First Nation – residents are asked to call their local health centres to book a vaccination appointment.
In Yellowknife, walk-in clinics for seniors will be held at the extended care unit, Baker Community Centre and Avens.
A public walk-in clinic will be held at the Lakeshore Co-op and in the lower level of Centre Square Mall. Dates for Yellowknife clinics have changed since this article was first published – refer to the health authority’s website for the latest dates and times.
