Proof of vaccination in Kahnawake
Written by Paul Graif on 31 August 2021
The public health unit at the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre and the Public Safety Commission confirms proof of COVID 19 vaccination will be needed in Kahnawake.
In a statement released Monday night, public health said the guiding principle behind the decision is to save lives and protect education, economy, and mental and spiritual well-being.
“This measure reduces the chances for the most at-risk population from getting or transmitting COVID-19 when in a high-risk environment,” said Lloyd Phillips, Commissioner of Public Safety. “The measure is specifically for non-essential environments, and the way we implement it in Kahnawà:ke could differ from Quebec’s.“
All non-locals and/or visitors to the community will also need to conform to all measures put in place to combat the COVID-19 virus.
Currently, there are 23 active confirmed cases in the community.
Details on the proof of vaccination implementation plan will be announced during a special ‘Kahnawake911’ briefing scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at 1:30pm on Facebook and K1037 Radio.
