Healthcare workers receive first vaccinations in Kelowna and Kamloops
The first round of COVID-19 vaccinations arrived in Kelowna and Kamloops on Tuesday.

“You have no idea what this means to me,” said Charmane Lazzarotto, the first vaccine recipient in Kelowna.
“As a health care aide, I care for vulnerable people every day and knowing I can protect them by preventing the spread of COVID-19 is an incredible feeling. I am so happy to be safer, feel safer, and be part of history as we fight COVID-19.”

By March, B.C. is expecting to get 792,000 doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said during a news conference today, Dec. 23. Each vaccination requires two doses. While manufacturers recommend the second dose be administered 28 days after the first, B.C. is going to give the second dose after 35 days, in order to increase the number of people who can be vaccinated with the limited supply.
