“There are still some pharmacies in the Lower Mainland, but I understand here on the Island the pharmacies are out, and in some other communities,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday. “There was a lot of uptake of the vaccine in pharmacies around the province, and we have very little of it left in the province right now.”
The decision to open up AstraZeneca to those over 40 was based on a rise in hospital numbers among younger people, Henry said. On Monday, she invited anyone “40 and above across the province” to get their shot.
“It will be available in pharmacies for people age 40 and above, in all the pharmacies across the province,” she said. “In addition, we’re starting targeted AstraZeneca-only clinics for people 40 and above in specific high-risk communities.”
