On Monday, BC’s provincial health officer tried to clarify some confusion around vaccine bookings after some people who had received their first dose of AstraZeneca through a pharmacy reported they were getting notifications from the province’s Get Vaccinated program, telling them it was time to register.
“There were some concerns about people registering who’d already received a single dose, and [they] were getting messages about registering again for their first dose,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry during a press conference. “Registration is required only once, and I know some people had some concerns when they received their vaccine… if they would need to register again. Yes, it is helpful to register just once, but if you do register more than once, the system will recognize that as well.”
