As the number of people in B.C. receiving their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine continues to rise, Fraser Health has set up clinics for those who have yet to receive their first dose.
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.
