No advance appointments are necessary for this clinic. People will be able to walk-up, register and receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Time: Monday, June 28 from 12 – 5 p.m.

"We are excited to work in partnership with IH to create a safe and welcoming environment for youth wanting access to a vaccination in the area. IH have done a fantastic job in supporting our community in response to COVID-19 and CMHA Kelowna/Foundry Kelowna recognize the importance of ensuring young people know where they can turn to when exploring their vaccination options,” said Foundry Centre manager Ben Macauley.
