The Chief of Neskantaga First Nation will roll up his sleeves on Monday February 1st.

In the tweet, Chris Moonias confirms plans to get the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Facebook live alongside Neskantaga Health Director Sharon Sakanee.

At this juncture it’s not clear if any other members of council will also receive the first of two vaccines on that date.

The Neskantaga Health Director and I plan to go live on Facebook when we get our Moderna Vaccine on February 1 in Neskantaga .. 👊🏽👍🏽
