HALIFAX Nova Scotia NDP Leader Gary Burrill received his first dose of the COVID vaccine at a Halifax pharmacy Wednesday afternoon. Burrill is one of 55,000 Nova Scotians that will be rolling up their sleeves this week for a shot. I never felt better, he told CTV News after getting immunized. Burrill said he was grateful for all the work Public Health has been doing around the vaccine rollout. I can’t think of anything I ever did in my life that was easier than getting the vaccine this afternoon, said Burrill. Former premier Stephen McNeil also got vaccinated Wednesday.
HALIFAX The vaccine rollout hit another milestone in Nova Scotia with the very first community vaccination clinic for African Nova Scotians. As African Nova Scotians, you know there s been disparities in health services so this is a defining moment. I m excited about this, said Rev. Andrea Anderson. The clinic was held at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Upper Hammonds Plains on Thursday. We know that people in the Black community are vulnerable to COVID-19 and the adverse effects of the virus and so it s important to bring the vaccine to the community for access, said Dr. David Haase. One of the biggest barriers is the mistrust that people in the Black community have had over the years in terms of the medical system and so along comes this vaccine and the mistrust and the misinformation about the vaccine has made it even more difficult, he said.
