As of noon March 20, Bowen Islanders born in 1951 or earlier or Indigenous people born in 1966 or earlier are eligible to book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment.
Because of travel constraints and Bowen's smaller population, vaccination eligibility follows a different schedule than the mainland Metro regions. (In West and North Vancouver as of March 20 they're inviting 79+ to register.)
Eligible islanders are to call VCH’s appointment booking phone line at 1-877-587-5767 to register for an appointment and are to have on hand, a pen and paper, personal health number, full name, date of birth, postal code and phone number.
The phone line is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The next Bowen Island vaccination clinic is March 26 between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. though it's best to check the VCH website for the latest information. Bowen is listed under the "Sea to Sky" section of the 'Where you can get vaccinated' heading.
