To date, the province has administered 192,942 doses since vaccines began arriving in mid-December. Of those vaccinations, 36,923 were for a second dose. Vaccines from both Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc. require two doses for maximum efficacy. “This is very good news,” said Gustafson, who was filling in for provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Health Minister Adrian Dix said more than half of the 12,250 doses administered on Thursday 6,271 were second doses. “The only issue holding back the immunization campaign at this stage is supply,” he said during the media briefing. Canada has experienced a significant shortfall of vaccines in recent weeks amid delays from both Pfizer and Moderna.
