Canadians died of COVID-19 in long-term care by the thousands. So why are there so few coroners’ reports? “That is important for us to recognize right now. That’s the message that we have for you today is that you are at risk and you spread it to the people who are closest to you.” The government’s “Walk-in Wednesday” promotion saw more than 16,500 people attend clinics around the province without an appointment. More than 6,000 of those went for their first vaccination.The vaccination rate has reached 81.7 per cent for people 12 and older with a first dose, while 68.4 per cent are fully vaccinated.
They want to make it easier for people to access their own vaccine records, he said, because it will be increasingly necessary in many workforces to demonstrate immunization.“Perhaps in the future if they want to leave Canada at some point to visit, whether it’s Blaine or Bellingham or Belgium or Botswana, to go somewhere else in the world where they’ll need to be vaccinated to travel.”
