Margot Suttis, a nurse who normally works at the Iqaluit public health centre, helps Tagak Curley, the Nunavut health minister, prepare for an H1N1 vaccination at a mass flu shot clinic held Nov. 1 at Iqaluit’s Inuksuk High School, kicking off Nunavut’s 15-day immunization campaign against swine flu. By mid-day, a team of about two dozen health care workers and volunteers, including Canadian Rangers, helped vaccinate nearly 400 people. The clinic will resume Nov. 2 at Aqsarniit Middle School. Residents may receive vaccinations to protect against H1N1 and seasonal flu at the same time. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
