The COVID-19 vaccine rollout will start in the Weenusk First Nation Tuesday. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler welcomes the arrival of the first ORNGE led vaccination distribution team tomorrow. “We are excited to have the first vaccination team in the remote community of Weenusk First Nation. I acknowledge the dedication to this effort by ORNGE, Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) and Ontario, and the support of the Canadian Rangers,” says Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler. “The soft launch of the vaccine rollout with NAN Elders was successful and I look forward to that momentum continuing throughout the rest of the vaccination program. This vaccine saves lives. I encourage all community members to review available information about the vaccine to make an informed decision on giving their consent to receive it.”
