Battle River Treaty 6 is holding door-to-door vaccination clinics.

Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre held their first door-to-door vaccine clinic on June 3 and 4.

The goal of the mobile clinic is to provide people access to readily available vaccines. With increased access to vaccine, they anticipate an increase in vaccines.

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.

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 who need their first dose and those who meet eligibility criteria for their second doses.

Organizers say the response has been positive and the feedback has been enthusiastic.
