Is it enough for the province to return to some semblance of normalcy?

The B.C. government has not said when restrictions might be lifted. Recent modelling released by the Canadian government shows that lifting restrictions by the summer would need 75 per cent of adults to get at least a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 20 per cent of Canadians their second shot.
In B.C., only two per cent of British Columbians have a second dose.
The vaccine uptake has been good in British Columbia in the higher age groups, with 83 per cent of those aged 70 years and older choosing to be vaccinated but how that will roll out in those younger is not known, say scientists in B.C.
