Health officials say BC is expecting to receive four-thousand doses this week of Pfizer's newly approved antiviral treatment to help fight off COVID-19.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says Health Canada is also looking at approving two other COVID-19 vaccines, including one made from tobacco plants.
But she has a warning for people holding out for alternatives to MRNA vaccines.
Dr. Henry says the new vaccines won't be available for some time while the unvaccinated are at particular risk of serious illness from the quickly spreading Omicron variant.
