B.C.’s top doctor and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry received her shot of the vaccine Tuesday afternoon during the first round of immunizations on Vancouver Island. Vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech have made their way to every health authority in the province, a week after they initially arrived in B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a tweet Henry’s dose demonstrates “full confidence in the safety of the vaccine and shows support for health care workers across our province.” Health-care workers are first in line for the province’s vaccine distribution, and weekly deliveries are already underway. While Henry has explained it will take time for everyone who wants a vaccine to get it, she said it should be widely available later in 2021. “Vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna have also provided guidance on how to safely transport the approved vaccines,” Henry writes in a release. “This means that as deliveries increase in the coming weeks, the vaccine will increasingly be available in more locations.” Before the end of the month, the prime minister has said Canada will be receiving up to 168,000 doses of Moderna’s vaccine, though the country is still waiting on its approval. So far, 4,108 people have been immunized in the BC.
