“People getting immunized in Aldergrove will be served by TransLink’s air-conditioned Mobile Vaccine Bus, which will provide same-day COVID-19 immunizations to eligible people in a cool and comfortable location,” Fraser Health said in a statement.
Eligible community members will be offered same-day immunizations while vaccine supplies last.
All Fraser Health residents ages 12 and over are invited to get immunized, including those without personal health numbers and/or people who are not residents of British Columbia.
Fraser Health said those needing a first dose will be prioritized and those who qualify for a second dose will be added to a virtual wait list.
Later in the day, if there is enough vaccine, the health authority said it will send a text message informing those who need a second dose to return to the mobile clinic to receive their vaccine.
