BC is in a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ latest modelling numbers show | FULL

British Columbia is now in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday.

Releasing the latest round of modelling numbers in a presentation, Henry said this past week was a success in terms of immunization; particularly in those under 30 years of age in the Interior Health and Northern Health regions, but COVID-19 case rates continue to be higher in areas of the province where there are lower vaccination rates.

Cases are still highest in areas such as Kamloops, the Cariboo Chilcotin and Nechako regions where vaccination rates are among some of the lowest in the province as of Aug. 23, according to the province’s data.

However, Henry said the good news is that some of the areas where case counts are the highest are also seeing the highest increase in vaccination rates.
