Agassiz Agricultural Hall is opening again as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Tuesday, Jan 4.

People of all eligible ages who have not yet had their first or second doses may walk in with no appointment from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Third doses are only administered to those who have received an invitation from the provincial Get Vaccinated program.

With the rise of the omicron variant in recent weeks, single-day vaccine clinics are becoming more and more frequent across the Fraser Valley, including in Agassiz-Harrison. The next most recent vaccination clinic took place on Tuesday, Dec. 21.
