VICTORIA -- British Columbia’s provincial government had pledged that people who are 80 years old and over and reside in the community would get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in February or March, but delays in vaccine supply have slowed things down somewhat. Still, B.C.’s Health Minister Adrian Dix said Friday that first doses for this highly vulnerable demographic could be expected by mid-March. “You can expect to be vaccinated between March 15 and the end of March,” said Dix, after noting that the lack of supply of the vaccines has been the only impediment to faster administration of the shots.
