The statement from Doctor Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix, also made note to stress than any British Columbians who are eligible for the vaccine should be making their arrangements to receive one as soon as possible.
“We strongly encourage everyone who is now eligible for a vaccine to arrange for your appointment today. This not only protects you, but also provides greater protection to everyone around you. “Everyone 55 and older is eligible for a vaccine today.We are pleased to see today’s Health Canada assessment and decision on the AstraZeneca vaccine. We’ve been following this closely, and we await the recommendations from the National Advisory Council on Immunization to determine how to best use this vaccine going forward to further enhance our protection."
