The first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are set to be administered to BC residents today.

Provincial health officer Doctor Bonnie Henry told a news conference yesterday that the vaccine will be given to workers in long-term care facilities to start.

Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health regions are due to receive the first doses, with the rest of the province having access by next week.

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is being used in the regions covered by the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities and will be given to workers in long-term care facilities.

Dr. Henry says a second dose of the vaccine is expected in January.
