Due to high demand, and additional meningococcal vaccine received, Interior Health has added evening drop-in immunization clinics in the Okanagan.
Here in Kelowna - clinics are being held at the Community Health and Services Centre on Doyle Avenue, the Rutland Health Centre on Gray Road - and in West Kelowna at the West Kelowna Health Centre on Carrington Road. They'll be open between 5 and 7:00 pm until Thursday.
I-H says the clinics are intended to capture those aged 15 to 19 who don't have access to immunizations at public schools, universities or colleges.
Last week, Interior Health declared an outbreak after the number of cases of meningitis rose dramatically in the region.
