Another major delivery of COVID vaccines is scheduled to arrive in the province today to help meet demand for boosters.

The few pharmacies that secured some supply over the last few days have seen long lineups. The wait in the parking lot at Shoppers Drug Mart on LeMarchant Road yesterday was about two hours at one point.

As of yesterday some 24,000 people had received their booster shot, but many more are still waiting.

Health Minister John Haggie admits the province has had some difficulty securing its share of the federal supply, but that’s since been resolved and some 107,000 doses are scheduled to arrive in the province today.

He says the delay has been caused by global supply issues involving the adult doses.
