It is the second clinic to open thanks to a coalition of Indigenous-led organizations, including the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary, Siksika Health Services, Okaki and other local partners.
The collective opened an immunization clinic dedicated to Indigenous seniors last month. More than 400 doses of vaccine were administered over three weeks, averaging about 20 shots per day.
