We are currently experiencing severe staff shortage in Eastmain, Waskaganish and other communities.

Do you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine?

COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a threat to the population of Eeyou Istchee.

2nd dose COVID vaccination campaign begins in Whapmagoostui on Friday, April 2

March 31, 2021

The second dose vaccination campaign in the community of Whapmagoostui will begin on Friday April 2nd.

Why?

We have agreed to a collaboration with Nunavik. The community of Kuujjuarapik has started vaccinating on March 30 and it is important to get the whole village vaccinated to ensure better protection for all. The second dose vaccine campaign for the rest of Eeyou Istchee will begin once our supply of vaccines arrive in the region.

Who is eligible?

Any resident of Whapmagoostui 18 years or older is eligible to receive the vaccine. The campaign will take place at the Multi-Service Day Centre (MSDC). The vaccine clinic is a walk in clinic. You do not need to make an appointment.
