The province adds Pfizer shipments have resumed and record high doses through the end of July will be received.
Over 97,000 doses of Pfizer vaccine were received this week with more than 180,000 expected over the next two weeks. The shipments are provided to pharmacies and SHA clinics across the province. While it has proven safe and effective to interchange mRNA vaccines for second dose, those between the ages of 12 and 17 and those seeking Pfizer as a second dose should seek vaccination clinics and appointments now.
