HALIFAX --
While there are some similarities when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine rollout plans, how Canadians will get their vaccine varies depending on which province you reside in.
In the Maritimes, both New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are offering the shot to those with complex medical conditions in the second phase of their rollout.
That’s not the case in Nova Scotia, however, where Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Strang, says the province’s goal is to immunize as many people as they can in the shortest time possible.
"If we start to divert and do different medical conditions or different types of occupations, what that does is substantially slow down our ability to build population immunity,” said Strang at a COVID update on Friday afternoon.
