An additional Covid-19 vaccine clinic popped up late last week in the Yellowknife Centre Square Mall. 

The downtown location is an overflow site for the administration of the Moderna vaccine, said David Maguire, a spokesperson with the GNWT Health and Social Services Authority. It is being offered in addition to the ongoing clinic at the MultiPlex DND Gymnasium.

Maguire told SA国际影视传媒 that the MultiPlex gym is SA国际影视传媒渁 high-capacity locationSA国际影视传媒� and that the new site administers vaccines to priority groups by referral from Yellowknife Public Health or the Chief Public Health Officer. 

SA国际影视传媒淥ne of the critical things to remember is that these vaccine clinics are in addition to the regular care and services we provide, so we need to ensure continuity of other services while delivering these Covid-19 vaccine clinics,SA国际影视传媒� Maguire said.

While the mall location is not indefinite, Maguire said, there is currently no end date.

He added that the mall clinic is only being operated when needed and that SA国际影视传媒渢here is not a huge volume of individuals being redirected there at this time.SA国际影视传媒� 

Maguire emphasized that the clinic is by referral only and not open to the general public.
