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