COVID Vaccine Now Available Locally To Those 60+

The rollout of local COVID vaccines has resumed after a brief break. The program was put on hold on March 29 due to Moderna vaccine supply shortages. Dr. Kit Young Hoon is the Medical Officer of Health for the Northwestern Health Unit and says, “Right now it is every couple of weeks we receive vaccines but the dates tend to change. Sometimes they are delayed. Sometimes they are by two days, sometimes it’s longer. But now more vaccines have arrived and we’re expecting more, so we’ve opened up more spots. Dr. Young Hoon adds, “Based on the numbers and the estimates we’re given by the province to allow people to book until the end of April. So we’re constantly revisiting and adjusting to make sure we have enough vaccines for people who are booking.”

Health Unit Talks COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout

NW Health Unit/CKDR Archives It may the fall before everyone in our area who wants a vaccine against COVID-19 gets their shots. Dr. Kit Young Hoon is the Medical Officer of Health for the Northwestern Health Unit and says the province is moving as fast as it can. “I recognize that people want this vaccine as soon as possible and I assure that we are all working as fast as we can. But there are limitations to any type of new vaccine in getting it out and it’s just basically logistics in the production and distribution of any vaccine.”
