Coronavirus: BC to announce next steps in COVID-19 vaccine rollout Friday | LIVE

CA, 23 Jan 2021
The B.C. government scheduled to announce the next steps in its COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan on Friday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m. PT.

Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry will join Premier John Horgan and Dr. Penny Ballem, executive lead of the B.C. immunization rollout, for an announcement on the next steps of the vaccine plan in the province.

Dix said Tuesday an unexpected announcement by drug-maker Pfizer is a “significant blow” to B.C.’s vaccine timeline, but one the government will deal with.

The pharmaceutical company told the Canadian government that Canada will not receive any of its vaccine doses next week due to delivery delays that have hit countries around the world.

Deliveries will start to pick up in the first weeks of February.
