Ministry of Health says invitations to book third doses are now flowing to 'all eligible children' in the five-to-11 age group.
A major system update and a “minor glitch” caused delays in B.C.’s COVID vaccine invitation system for children this week — but all eligible families should be getting their invites by this weekend.
But the announcement left parents of children in that age group hanging after many who had passed the six- or seven-month mark since their child’s second dose failed to receive an invitation to book their child’s shot. On Thursday, Sept. 1, Glacier Media followed up with the Ministry of Health to inquire about the status of invitations for pediatric vaccination.The ministry said about 1,750 invitations had been sent out to B.C. children starting the week of Aug. 21.
The ministry said invitations are now flowing to “all eligible children” at six months from their last shot and that all eligible children will receive their invite by the end of this week.
