Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix compiled the update in a form of a written statement.

Since the pandemic started, the province has seen 145,843 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 1,725 deaths.

In order to successfully combat the virus, the province needs to increase its vaccination rate. So far, a total of 3,749,758 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the province. Of those 3,749,758 doses, 390,264 are second doses.

These numbers show us that 74.5 percent of residents in British Columbia who are 18 and older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Also, 72.4 percent of those who are 12 or older have received a dose.

Henry and Dix wrote in the statement:

“Canada has some of the highest dose-one immunization levels in the world and British Columbia is equally strong. We ask everyone to join us in continuing to push forward with our vaccine progress.”
