The Covid-19 vaccine has arrived in New Brunswick. The first 1950 doses arrived at the Miramichi Regional Hospital where they will be distributed this weekend.
Mayor Adam Lordon called it an honour for the city and healthcare workers to be part of the first vaccinations…a moment to be celebrated and be optimistic about the fact that we perhaps have turned the corner here. Lordon said he trusts the science and will get the vaccine once it’s available to him.
Meanwhile, just one new case of Covid-19 was reported yesterday by Public Health. It’s a person in their 40s in the Edmundston region. The source of their infection remains under investigation.
