Local Doctors Support COVID-19 Vaccination and Herd Immunity

community · March 2021 · Denman and Hornby Islands

Several doctors from Denman and Hornby Islands publicly expressed support for COVID-19 vaccination efforts and the safety and efficacy of vaccines. They encourage community members to get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity and return to normalcy, and caution against misinformation from anti-vaccination groups.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
