More than 50% of all eligible people in B.C. have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Premier John Horgan is calling for everyone to register for vaccination and help friends, family and neighbours to do the same.
“We’ve made extraordinary progress together over the past few weeks toward everyone getting their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine,” said Premier Horgan.
“COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down, but this milestone gives us hope of better days ahead. We have to keep going. We need all British Columbians to help make sure as many people as possible get their shots. Register today and talk to your friends, family and neighbours and make sure they’re registered, too.”
Once people are registered, they will get an email or text notification when it is their turn to book an appointment. Anyone not already registered should register now in one of three ways:
24/7, online: https://gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated
through a provincial call centre between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Pacific time) at 1 833 838-2323, or
in person at the nearest Service BC location.
People who do not have a personal health number can register by phone or in person. Translations are available in over 140 languages over the phone.
With more than one million doses arriving this month, B.C. is making quick progress in its immunization plan and everyone in B.C. needs to do their part to protect people and communities by helping others getting vaccinated, Province said.
Workers in B.C. are eligible for up to three hours of paid leave to get each dose of their COVID-19 vaccine.
