All adult Yellowknife residents can now book an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Health Minister Julie Green announced in a press conference Wednesday.
The surprise announcement moves forward timelines for general vaccinations, which were not due to begin for another week. Green said the territory is "ahead of schedule" in its efforts to meet an April 30 deadline for vaccinating 75 per cent of all eligible adults.
