Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Wednesday B.C.’s immunization plan will include adolescents after Health Canada approved the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for people as young as 12.
“We are absolutely planning on integrating that into our program,” Henry said Wednesday while adding many details are still being sorted out.
“There’s lots of possibilities, including making sure we can get that done prior to the end of school this year.”
The remarks came in an impromptu media availability via phone and video conferencing.
