The province made a huge change to vaccine rules without making an announcement or issuing a press release. Anyone 18+ can now get a Moderna/Pfizer vaccine at a participating pharmacy.
This is an explainer thread about yesterday’s pharmacy vaccine change, which I think is needed because there is a lot of confusion 🧵
“Select pharmacy locations in hotspots are administering the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine to individuals aged 18 and over,” is the statement I got from Christine Elliott’s office when I asked for details.
The phrasing matters here – the pharmacies are in hot spots, but the individuals receiving the vaccine don’t have to be. That is not how the mobile/pop-up clinics for hotspots are operating.
