Earlier this week, residents and community members of Wigwamen Terrace, an Indigenous retirement home in Toronto, received COVID-19 vaccinations. It was an amazing day; to us it was like history in the making, said Harvey Manning, director of programs and services at Anishnawbe Health Toronto. It s a really important initiative and it s the first vaccine that rolled out for Indigenous communities in Toronto.
The Anishnawbe Health Mobile Healing Unit delivered the Moderna vaccinations Tuesday with the support of Women s College Hospital.
