Two weeks away from a hug : Mass immunization clinics open to seniors

Health officials say it takes a couple of weeks for vaccines to provide protection. McLean’s father was one of 700 people expected to receive a vaccine at the clinic Monday, the first day that it was open to the public. Non-Indigenous people age 90 and over and Indigenous people 65 and older were eligible for appointments starting Monday. Bruce McLean said it was a relief to get his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. “Before I got this shot, if I was to catch that virus, I’m done for. But now even in the million-to-one shot that I might catch it I think I could probably survive it,” he said.

Island Health to start taking calls Monday for first group in mass-vaccination drive

The health authority performed a major pivot this week, postponing second-dose clinics to give more people first doses, after provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced booster shots will be given after 16 weeks instead of six. First doses have been shown to be about 90 per cent effective. That newly freed-up vaccine supply is being used next week to vaccinate the last of the high-risk seniors in independent living, those receiving home support and seniors awaiting placement in long-term care, as well as long-term care residents, visitors and staff who were missed in the first round. Also being vaccinated are Indigenous communities, hospital staff, community doctors, medical specialists, vulnerable populations living and working in group settings, and staff in community home support and nursing services for seniors.
