COVID-19 vaccinations and second doses…

The Government of Canada has been reminding us that second doses of COVID-19 immunizations are important. Receiving a second vaccine dose for a 2 dose schedule is essential to provide better and longer-term protection against COVID-19 for individuals and for the entire community.

A different vaccine product may be offered for a second dose, which is known as vaccine interchangeability or a ‘mixed vaccine schedule’.

You can find more information about second doses of COVID-19 vaccines here.

The Government of Canada has been reminding us to remember that, after getting our vaccines, it takes about 2 weeks to develop significant protection against COVID-19. For the greatest protection, you need 2 doses.

You can find more information about getting a vaccine appointment here.

Hey everyone, with fire season fully upon us we wanted to highlight two short animated videos being released by Nelson Fire & Rescue Services.

Did you know there are a number of things you can do to reduce the risk of losing homes and buildings from wildfire? Through a grant from Columbia Basin Trust, local illustrator Nathan Wilkinson and vocal artist Maddisun worked with Nelson Fire & Rescue Services to create these two short animated films to help spread the message of FireSmart and wildfire safety.

Check out how to “Be FireSmart-Today” in the videos below or on YouTube!
