Vaccination is gradually progressing from the elderly. I have come to hear the voices of people who have completed the first vaccination.

At this time, British Columbia can book vaccinations for the new coronavirus for people aged 65 and over born in 1956 or earlier. Invitation is required for people aged 16 and over who have an underlying disease with a high risk of aggravation, and vaccinations can be given to frontline medical staff and distribution-related workers in groups or companies.

Vaccination has begun in various parts of Canada.
We give priority to medical professionals and the elderly, and announce the future outlook for each state from time to time.

The British Columbia government has announced the second phase of vaccination against the new coronavirus. Telephone reservation start date is based on age, and proxy reservation is also possible.
90 years old and over (~ 1931) 3/8 ~
85-89 years old (1932-36 years old) 3/15-
80-84 years old (1937-1941) 3/22-
Indigenous people can make vaccination reservations if they are 65 years of age or older.
Two vaccinations are required, but the effect lasts from the first to four months, so the interval between the second dose is changed to 16 weeks so that as many people as possible can get the first dose. Due to changes in the inoculation schedule, administration to children under the age of 59 scheduled after July may be accelerated.

Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory, has begun vaccination against the new coronavirus for all residents aged 18 and over.
In the past, priority was given to healthcare professionals, the elderly, and remote residents with poor medical facilities, but now adults can book vaccination dates by phone.
