The health authority announced what it calls easy, accessible, same-day immunization clinics in Surrey and Boston Bar.

Anyone over the age of 12 is welcome to visit, including those without personal health numbers, vulnerable people, or people who are not residents of B.C.

On-site staff can help people register and book appointments at other clinics throughout the region if needed, and help answer vaccine-related questions.

The EASI clinics are located at existing clinics at 10025 King George Blvd. in Surrey and the Boston Bar School.

There is also a neighbourhood clinic at the Rosedale Traditional Community School in Chilliwack.

More information is available at the Fraser Health website.
