A new large-scale vaccination site will be opening in Fort McMurray.
Starting on April 5, a clinic will be up and running at the Suncor Community Leisure Centre curling rink at MacDonald Island Park.
“MacDonald Island is, in many ways, the heart of our community. Convenient and safe access to COVID-19 vaccines is key to the health and well-being of residents, and the social and economic recovery of our communities,” said Mayor Don Scott.
“By using a larger facility with better parking, more people will be able to access their shots faster and safer. This is a logical step in the right direction.”
