A month after Vancouver Coastal Health dramatically removed a vaccine shipment from the Nuxalk Nation in Bella Coola, COVID-19 vaccines are arriving back to the Central Coast community this week.
In January, the CBC obtained documents showing VCH medical health officer Dr. John Harding called vaccine doses meant for the Nuxalk a gift, before getting an RCMP escort out of the community, leaving with hundreds of doses planned for Nuxalk elders.
