B.C.’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to forge ahead.

If you’re a British Columbian born in 1951 or earlier, you can now book your vaccination appointment.

The phone lines opened up today (Wednesday) for those 70-years and older to arrange to get their first shot.

This includes residents of Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

However, those 55- to 65-years-old residing within the Vancouver Coastal or Fraser health regions can call a participating pharmacy to book their vaccination appointment anytime now.

Indigenous people in B.C. 18-years and up can also call to book their appointment, along with extremely clinically vulnerable people who’ve received a letter telling them they can book their shot.
