After hundreds of teenagers showed up to vaccination clinics throughout the Okanagan this weekend, the health authority has announced additional dates.

“These clinics are intended to capture 15 to 19-year-old people who will not have access to immunization at school clinics,” the health region said in a statement.

Vaccinations have been offered to Grade 9 students since last year.

Schools are also offering vaccinations throughout the week.
