There have been no new health-care facility outbreaks. The outbreaks at Glenwood Seniors Community, Hilton Villa Seniors Community and Bradley Centre are over.

To date, 159,887 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in B.C., 15,684 of which are second doses.

A month-long slowdown in COVID-19 vaccine deliveries to Canada is expected to end next week, with the single biggest shipment of vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech to date.

The government says Pfizer has confirmed it will ship 400,000 doses to Canada starting Monday.

Over the next four weeks, the country should get almost 1.8 million doses from Pfizer, and another 168,000 from Moderna.
