Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’d like to have my Member’s statement on the H1N1 flu vaccines in Nunakput. I wanted to talk about the importance of getting your flu shot. I urge all residents in the Nunakput communities of Tuk, Ulukhaktok, Sachs Harbour and Paulatuk to go to their health centre and get their flu vaccinations. The flu shot is for everyone, for the children, our elders, our health care workers and for teachers. For people with other illnesses and people who are even healthy, Mr. Speaker, the flu shot will help keep the community residents healthy and safe, and our doctors and nurses have told us that it is safe and it will protect us from all the serious diseases from the H1N1 flu.
These are the dates, Mr. Speaker, that they are happening in my communities. Tuktoyaktuk on November the 9th will be from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., probably at Kitty Hall, and the second day on the 10th will be in Tuk from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sachs Harbour: from 10 o’clock in the morning until 7:00 p.m. Starting in Paulatuk on the 12th, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Ulukhaktok: 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. and Ulukhaktok again, 10:00 to 12:00. If there are any catch-up dates, I will be passing them on to the communities and to the health representatives in the community. So I urge everybody to get out there and get their flu shot so it doesn’t affect us in the long run. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. The honourable Member for Kam Lake, Mr. Ramsay.
