Vaccine Questions or Concerns?
Ross River Dena Council encourages community members to ask lots of questions and to make informed decisions as we work to keep Ross River safe in 2021. If you have questions, here are some upcoming opportunities to ask an expert about the COVID-19 vaccine in advance of the February 4 clinic:
- If you have a personal health-related question (i.e. is this vaccine safe for me?), please contact a community nurse at the Ross River Health Centre by calling 969-4444;
- If you have questions or concerns about the virus, the vaccine and/or the clinic, an information booth will be set up at the General Store on Wednesday, February 3 and a representative from the Mobile COVID- 19 Vaccination Clinic be on location to answer any questions you may have.
