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 March 11 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;
- Visit the COVID-19 Information kiosk at the General Store next Wednesday to learn more about the vaccine and the clinic. A representative from the clinic will be on location to answer any questions you may have.
