Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre Mobile Vaccination Clinics

Jun 16, 2021 | 8:50 AM

Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre Inc. held their first door to door vaccine clinic on June 3rd and 4th, 2021.

The mobile clinic offered and provided Covid 19 vaccinations to the members of Little Pine First Nation and Poundmaker Cree Nation.

The clinics are a partnership between BRT6HC and the communities of Little Pine First Nation, Poundmaker Cree Nation, Sweetgrass First Nation and Lucky Man First Nation to increase the percentage of people being vaccinated who may not otherwise get vaccinated.

The goal of the mobile clinic is to provide clients access to readily available Covid 19 Vaccines. With increased access to vaccine, we are anticipating an increase in vaccine coverage rates against the Covid 19 virus.

Each mobile clinic team is staffed with BRT6HC staff and Community Band members. The teams continue going door to door to offer the Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine to the targeted population of 12 years and older needing their 1st dose and those who meet eligibility criteria for their 2nd doses.

The response has been positive, and the feedback has been enthusiastic.
