line by following this link: https://nthssabookings.simplybook.me/v2/. Residents who are unable to use the online booking form can call Yellowknife Public Health to book an appointment at (867) 767-9120.
Once again, there will be a limited number of appointments in this next round for Yellowknife. When appointments are full in the online booking system, we will post a public notice. If you are unable to get an appointment but fall under one of the expanded priority groups, please e-mail CPHO@gov.nt.ca instead of calling Yellowknife Public Health.
More appointments will be opened up based on vaccine supply once these existing slots are filled. We are asking residents to be community-minded and let our most vulnerable get vaccinated first.
