As residents over 80 gear up to get vaccinated, the plans to vaccinate Waterloo region s urban Indigenous population are still currently being developed.
But those involved say that s because it needed to be done in the most culturally relevant way possible.
Tammy Webster, a member of the Indigenous vaccination rollout task force and a K-12 Indigenous support teacher, and says there has been a collaboration between the region s vaccine task force and local Indigenous organizations.
Webster was recruited to provide an Indigenous voice and there s a working group that has a partnership with the Region of Waterloo to create an Indigenous specific rollout.
