The Department of Health continues to make plans for a province-wide vaccination program to prevent the spread of the pandemic HINI. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eilish Cleary says this is a positive move by the Graham Government even if the cost is over $17 million dollars because it will reduce the number of those who get sick, hospital visits and those who die.
Dr. Cleary adds they are still finalizing their vaccine plan but have determined the pecking order for the shot. It includes First Nations Communities, those under 65 with chronic conditions, pregnant women, health care workers and healthy children six months to five years old.
