Ongoing problems with the supply of COVID-19 vaccines has thrown a wrench into the province’s vaccination plans for front line workers.
That should start to change next week even though the supply of AstraZeneca vaccine has dried up. The province expects to start receiving shipments of the Johnson & Johnson Janssen single dose vaccine next week.
So far, about 180,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered through pharmacies for people 55 and older while other doses went to some front line workers and to battle outbreaks.
The workplace vaccination program has struggled because of a shortage of vaccines. It was aimed at first responders, police and firefighters along with staff in schools and daycares.
