The Peguis First Nation will continue its fight against COVID-19 on Monday when a mass vaccination effort begins.

There is currently just one active case of COVID-19 on the First Nation and by Thursday, it's expected that nearly half of the on-reserve population will receive a vaccine shot.

That means by Thursday, it's expected that just more than 2200 people will be either partially or fully vaccinated which adds up to about 46 percent of the on-reserve population.

Doses will be given at the Peguis Multiplex to people aged 18 and over with clinics being open from 10 a.m until 7 p.m. today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.

Chief Glenn Hudson said he believes Peguis is one of the first First Nations in the province to roll out a mass vaccination clinic.
