Vaccinations
Apparently, the three London Drugs locations which are offering AZ doses to ages 55-65 in the Lower Mainland took appointments last night and are now full. Meanwhile, the ~150 Shoppers Drugs locations don’t have an online booking system, and they are getting swamped.
I was concerned yesterday that the appointment booking eligibility was stuck on 73 for a second day. Apparently, they are prioritizing calls from the clinically vulnerable. So cancer patients are displacing 73 year-olds. I’m okay with that.
This is a somewhat interesting tweet thread from Waterloo on how one of their clinics works. It focuses on “how do we not waste doses”.
VOCs
This analysis says that the VOC problem in BC is much worse than Dr. Henry has been letting on, that the recent spike in cases was all due to VOCs.
