Register to get vaccinated in B.C. 

Everyone in B.C. who is 18 years old and over is now eligible to get vaccinated and should register on the Get Vaccinated website.

“The focus of the COVID-19 vaccine program is to protect as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, and to address hot spots and reduce transmission everywhere," said Henry. 

“We have reached a new, encouraging point in our pandemic response. Starting today, the available vaccine will be significantly increasing, and this is good news for all of us.

“Over the coming month, more than one million vaccine doses will be delivered to our province, with more anticipated for June, giving the vast majority of eligible people access to a vaccine before Canada Day.

“We are moving as quickly as possible to get vaccine into arms, which means at times, there will be bumps along the way in our rollout and delivery. Importantly, when those bumps occur, we will pivot and adjust to keep moving forward.

“In the meantime, we must continue our actions to stop the spread and do everything we can to relieve the pressure on our health-care workers.”
