The province is drawing closer to another major milestone of its vaccination rollout. Close to 70 per cent of eligible residents have received their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. That’s approaching the provincial government’s initial goal of having 80 per cent of residents fully vaccinated by mid-September.
Of the province’s roughly 483,000 eligible residents, over 85 per cent have received their first dose.
Anyone interested in scheduling a vaccination appointment is encouraged to visit the provincial government’s website to book online or by telephone.
