Most used in priority vaccinations.
13,500 are being used this week.
43000 more are arriving Friday. 1/...

Health Minister @adriandix says allocations to pharmacies that are giving these shots are according to what they did for the flu program.
He's heard ppl concerned some pharmacies gave preferential treatment but doesn't believe that happened.

#bcpoli @NEWS1130 #covid19
The only thing preventing more vaccinations happening @adriandix says is the amount of vaccine there is available.
As for the bumps in this rollout he says when NACI said AZ should pause under 55 they moved fast to get the doses in arms. 3/...
#bcpoli @NEWS1130 #covid19
Even with another 43,000 coming Friday @adriandix says some 55-65 won't be able to get appts for this but their age group is coming soon.
Also he says 65+ wasn't included because they are the next group in age based.

#bcpoli @NEWS1130 #covid19
The next age year will be up to book soon/this week @adriandix says -- noting the age groups are larger each year they are younger and this week they added clinically vulnerable group of 150,000. The 65-69 folks soon after

Dr Henry talking about vaccines approved/being used in Canada - including the one shot Janssen.
First dose primes, second boosts.
What learning in real world is that after single dose protections is upwards of 80% lasting for months
#bcpoli @NEWS1130 #covid19
If vaccinated why do you wear mask still after vaccination? DBH - it takes ti,e
two types of immunity
1. antibodies can be measured in blood. we don't know how much is needed for protection. And some ppl with certain cancers don't produce as much

NEW: BC #covid19 vaccine rollout
- front line/essential workers may move up in priority line
with Astra Zeneca suggested for ppl under 65
- 2nd doses now at 4 months not 42 days (frees up 75000 shots now)
- remains age based overall 90+ in community March 15
#bcpoli @NEWS1130
To ease pressure / bottlenecks other regions have seen, #covid19 vaccine booking will be done a week ahead of age group eligibility and prioritizing phone booking for those older and pushing younger to book online
#bcpoli @NEWS1130
With Astra Zeneca - looking at how those can best be used/targetted to front line workers. [fire, corrections, police, essential workers who can not work from home (food processing, mail distribution, manufacturing, poultry processing, agricultural wokers)]

Dr Henry: 1st school outbreak in Kelowna now over. Says it showed response works.
She's reminding people it is important for children to be in school - and it's time to pull back on other things like sleepovers, playdates, extra curriculars.

Trying to find out where the buck stops with enforcing #covid19 safety plans at BC schools - seems like a bit of a hot potato.
Hearing from parents, staff & @bctf president @TeriMooring plans are not being carried out the same across the province...
#bced #bcpoli @NEWS1130 1.../
This includes things enforcing guidance on mask wearing, regular cleaning, minimum distance between students. I asked Education Minister @rob_fleming about this - he says it's up to the schools to ensure things are being done properly...
#bced #bcpoli @NEWS1130 2.../
And @rob_fleming says there are processes in place for staff & teachers if things are falling through the cracks. But @bctf says relying on school Occupational Health & Safety Cmtes and @WorkSafeBC are falling short..

#bcpoli #covid19
Re timing of notification of cases at the dance school, @Fraserhealth says first once came Oct 29, day of first case being known. Then tracers contacted people considered most at risk.
#bcpoli #covid19 @NEWS1130
Regarding some people waiting days for contact - @Fraserhealth says - from time case becomes symptomatic to test to result is a # of days then interview case then identify the contacts...
