As more Unalaskans get vaccinated, city facilities are beginning to reopen to larger crowds of people, and the island s Community Center is no exception with higher capacity limits now that the city is at its medium coronavirus risk threshold.
But the Community Center isn t just hosting patrons looking to hit the gym or work on an art project. As of late last month, the center has also been functioning as a major COVID-19 vaccination clinic for the island.
From Tuesday to Friday, anywhere between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Unalaska Department of Parks, Culture and Recreation s gym closes to the public and reopens as a pop-up vaccination clinic for Iliuliuk Family and Health Services and the Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, according to PCR Recreation Manager Albert Burnham.

The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association (APIA) is working to address food insecurity in the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands through a two-year grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We will be working with tribes, as partners, and trying to better understand local food systems in the region and begin planning and designing a regional food system, said Suanne Unger, Wellness Lead at the regional nonprofit tribal organization s Anchorage office.
Unger who s been working in the areas of traditional foods and food security for about 20 years said the USDA Regional Food System Partnership Program grant was awarded in late 2020, and will run through September of 2022.
