Statistics

+671 cases, +3 deaths, +6,864 first doses, +7,696 second doses.

Currently 215 in hospital / 118 in ICU, 5,872 active cases, 160,268 recovered.

There are 359,427 people who have gotten first doses but not second doses. BC has 297,134 mRNA doses in fridges, less anything that got dropped on the floor; so we might need more. We did get a shipment of 70.2K Pfizer doses yesterday, and we’re not going to run out soon, so it’s probably okay. (There’s also about 10M available from the feds which the province can draw on.)
