Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran has been vaccinated.
Given heѻýs 43 years old, he shouldnѻýt be eligible for inoculation under B.C.ѻýs vaccination rollout plan for a few months. However, due to his regular volunteering at the Kelowna General Hospital (KGH), he got the shot a little sooner than planned ѻý along with hundreds of other healthcare volunteers in the Interior Health region.
ѻýIt is the responsible thing to do if youѻýre coming into contact with people in a patient care setting,ѻý said KGH Foundation CEO Doug Rankmore. ѻýOur volunteers are vital to the hospitalѻýs ability to meet a variety of needs, and their safety is a critical to our overall success.ѻý
Basran has volunteered in the KGH coffee shop for more than a year, helping raise funds for the KGH Foundation.
