To date, 2,219,856 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines have been administered in B.C., 110,516 of which are second doses.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a statement, the vaccine clinics are ramped up and there is ample vaccine supply.

“Now, it is your turn to step forward and get protected with your Covid-19 vaccine. We are calling on every adult in our province to join our efforts and register for your vaccine today. Last week, almost 400,000 people registered for their vaccine. We can break that record this week,” Henry and Dix said.

Ontario says it will stop giving out first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine due to concerns over blood clots.

The province’s chief medical health officer says the decision was made out of an abundance of caution.

Dr. David Williams says AstraZeneca recipients made the right decision to get the vaccine, based on the advice available at the time.

Three women have died of a blood clotting syndrome in Canada — they were among 12 confirmed cases out of more than two-million AstraZeneca doses given in Canada.

Alberta has also said it is not giving out more first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, due to supply issues.
