On January 16, 2021, the first 1,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine against COVID-19 arrived in Nunavik. Tusajiapik Elders’ Home resident, Johnny Watt, was the first in Nunavik to receive the vaccine on January 17 in Kuujjuaq. Decades ago, Watt helped deliver vaccines against other diseases by dog team. Kuujjuaq’s community’s vaccination campaign took place Feb. 10 and 11 in the Jaanimmarik School gym, for anyone over 18 wishing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. A group of photojournalism students from Jaanimmarik school took photos of the vaccinations, led by instructor Isabelle Dubois.
