COVID-19 Vaccinations Underway!

As of March 23, 2021, Indigenous Services Canada is aware of:
610 communities with vaccinations underway (for either priority groups or all adults) in:
First Nations and Inuit communities in provinces
communities in territories
226,790 doses have been administered.

Vaccine Misinformation
We understand that some inaccurate information has been circulating to certain Indigenous communities about the vaccine that includes false and distorted information about potential side effects. The spread of misinformation can have real consequences and can affect people’s behaviours and decision-making.
It is important to obtain information from trusted sources. These sources include federal, provincial, and territorial health authorities, community health centres, nursing stations, or local healthcare providers. Please consider the source of information before spreading or sharing articles or facts. Vaccination is a choice. Vaccines used in Canada must be approved by Health Canada and the COVID-19 vaccine is held to the same safety standards as other vaccines to make sure it is safe and effective.

COVID-19 Variants of Concerns
As Variants of Concern (VOCs) continue to spread in Ontario, it remains vital to continue following public health measures to prevent their spread. Because VOCs spread the same way as the “original” virus, the same actions can be effective. These include avoiding close contact with anyone outside of your household, wearing a good fitting 3-ply mask in indoor public spaces, maintaining physical distancing, and frequent handwashing with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs.
Anyone with even a very mild symptom of COVID-19 should stay away from others and get tested. We know from what we have learned that often people have such a mild symptom that they think it can’t be due to COVID-19! By the time they get tested, they have exposed other people.
Even after being vaccinated, people should continue to practice public health measures. Until enough people are vaccinated, the virus will continue to circulate and can cause severe illness.

THANK YOU To Our Health Team

Thank you so much for all your help in organizing and operating the Clinic! The Public Health Nurses said,
“Our clinic was the best one yet” They sung everyone’s praises and send their thanks.
On behalf of our community, WE thank each and every one of you. You are all our very own heroes.
Magnetawan First Nation’s Vaccine First Dose COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic is complete!
A total of 76 Doses of Moderna were given out.
61 were Magnetawan residents and members. That’s 70% of our in-community residents over 18!
15 were Magnetawan employees who reside off territory.

Stay tuned for the date for our second dose. Once the date is set, those that were not able to receive the vaccine at the first clinic will have the opportunity to receive their first dose at the next clinic! Consent forms are available at the Health Centre.

It has been a full year since COVID-19 changed the world as we knew it. The pandemic has taken a toll on each of us in different ways and poses challenges that can be overwhelming. The Hope for Wellness Helpline is there for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week offering mental health counselling & crisis intervention.
