B.C. is pushing ahead with its COVID-19 vaccination campaign. People aged 84 and older can now book appointments, though in the northern city of Prince Rupert, adults of any age can now get their shot. The region launched a sweeping vaccination campaign Monday. The goal is to get every adult immunized by April 1st.

Martha Wainwright, 96, and Perry Boyle were two of the first seniors in Prince Rupert to receive the shot.

“The risk is to us up here is profound and that was I think why our town has asked us to be more strict, recognizing that our hospital would not be able to handle a significant outbreak if it all happened at once,” city councillor Blair Mirau told Global News.

The first week of this mass vaccination effort will target people between the ages of 60 and 95. The goal is to have a dose in the arm of every adult in Prince Rupert by the end of the month.
