Coronavirus: BC says all long-term care residents have been offered vaccine | FULL

Global News published this video item, entitled “Coronavirus: BC says all long-term care residents have been offered vaccine | FULL” – below is their description.

British Columbia has now offered at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine to all residents and staff of long-term care and assisted-living facilities in the province.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry made the announcement at a Friday briefing, in which she reported 514 new cases of COVID-19 and five new deaths.

Henry said uptake on the vaccine had been “very high.”

Earlier Friday, Moderna announced it was joining Pfizer in reducing the supply of vaccine that would be shipped to Canada, due to an issue at one of its processing plants.

Henry said that would translate to about a 20 per cent drop in B.C.’s expected shipment next week.

“Of course, this is disappointing for all of us,” she said.

“We are working with what we have available to best address those most at risk and those hotspots and outbreaks that are happening around the province.”

One of the province’s most troubling outbreaks in a long-term care home, at Vancouver’s Little Mountain Place, was declared over.
