The first group eligible for vaccinations were health workers who work directly with patients, often of a certain age or older - workers assigned to COVID-19 immunization clinics, critical care unit workers over age 40, acute care facility workers over age 60 and long term care facility workers over age 58 were eligible for the first shipment of COVID-19 jabs. When asked during the Dec. 15 meeting of Flin Flon city council, Mayor Cal Huntley - who also serves as board chair for the Northern Health Region (NHR) - said he was not aware of a single dose of the vaccine having been brought north.
