The first prototype clinic for vaccinating people 80 and older in Nova Scotia against COVID-19 is up and running in Halifax this morning at the IWK Health Centre.
Bernice Burns, 82, was the first one to get a shot at 8 a.m. It s an honour really, it really is, Burns said after rolling up her sleeve for the vaccination. I was very excited when they called me.
Burns said she won t necessarily be going out more until everyone else also has the vaccine. Maybe when she gets the second dose she ll feel safer, she said, but that doesn t mean she ll start ducking any public health rules.
