Get your week’s produce and fruit and a first or second jab of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Penticton Farmers’ Market today, July 24 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Interior Health will host a drop-in immunization clinic at the farmers’ markets in Penticton and Summerland for anyone who has not yet received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, or anyone who received their first dose more than seven weeks (49 days) ago.
No advance appointments are necessary for these clinics. People will be able to walk-up, register and receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
