The community hall in Cambridge Bay was a busy spot Thursday as the first of three days of vaccinations against Covid-19 got underway.
Residents of Cambridge Bay have been relatively receptive to getting their shots as close to 600 appointments were made in advance of the vaccination team beginning to administer the doses.
The vaccine is "our best protection against Covid-19," says Nunavut chief public health officer Dr. Michael Patterson.
Because two doses of the vaccine, manufactured by Moderna, are required to be fully effective, the nurses will return Feb. 11-13 to complete the process.
