Health officials plan to hand out wristbands to Surrey residents who line up for special clinics this week in a bid to smooth a COVID-19 vaccine rollout in that city recently marred by frustrating, and in some cases fruitless, lineups.
VANCOUVER Starting at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, British Columbia will begin sending vaccine appointment invites to registered residents 18-years-old and up. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout expanded to include those 25 and up Friday evening, and people over the age of 20 on Saturday. A series of drop-in clinics will also open in Surrey in the coming week which will be open to Surrey residents aged 18 and up. “Our immunization efforts in Surrey are expanding rapidly, and we’re finding new ways to offer vaccines to people and protect communities against COVID-19,” Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a news release. “We’re making great progress, and we need to keep going. These new clinics will help us reach more people in Surrey and help them get immunized in a way that works for them.”
