Earlier this month, Henry explained that more details surrounding BC’s mass COVID-19 immunization strategy would be available in mid-to-late January.

We only know the basics now, including that vaccine will be distributed based on age with priority descending in five-year increments. To date, 62,294 people have received a COVID-19 vaccine in BC.

A written update on BC’s case numbers is also expected at approximately 3 pm.
