Northern Health captured in photos the historic moment when Mills Memorial Hospital “held its first vaccination clinics for high risk health care workers and long-term care residents.”
The health authority explained in a recent Facebook post that “a number of staff who work in acute care departments caring for COVID-19 patients were immunized on Saturday, as were 20 long-term care residents from Terraceview Lodge.”
