By Keven Dow

Due to Yellowknife’s population size, the next round of first dose COVID-19 vaccine appointments are opening up with a more detailed breakdown of priority groups.

An additional 500 appointments are opening between February 11th – 13th at the Centre Square Mall.

These appointments are for residents with one or more severe chronic medical conditions, residents who are immunocompromised from underlying medical conditions and residents living with obesity.

There will be a limited number of appointments in this next round. When appointments are full, a public notice will be posted by the NTHSSA.

More appointments will be opened up based on vaccine supply once these slots are filled.

Appointments can be made online here. Residents who are unable to use the online booking form can call Yellowknife Public Health to book an appointment at (867) 767-9120.
