VANCOUVER --
The day after the fire chief of Point Roberts, Wash., made an appeal to U.S. and Canadian officials to be permitted to give Canadians excess doses of COVID-19 vaccine, B.C.’s top doctor confirmed a number of cross-border discussions have been underway.
“You know the people I’ve been concerned about are cross-border truckers,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday afternoon.
“I’m not aware of any programs that have started at this point,” Henry said. “But that’s something we talk about.”
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have already worked out deals that allow truckers to be vaccinated in North Dakota.
