Dr. Bonnie's Covid update for the past weekend:
No new Pfizer vaccine is being delivered into BC this week. No Moderna vaccine shipments are coming into BC this week either.
1344 new cases for past weekend
527, 471, 346 daily numbers. Curve continues to bend downward.
26 deaths.
68 people in ICU.
I don't know about Dr. Henry's idea though.
extending duration now between 1st and 2nd vaccine dose.
-extend from 35 to 42 days
This is
NOT Pfizer and Moderna's recommended duration between the vaccine shots. The 35 or 42 days duration is not recommended by these pharmaceutical firms.
Dr. Bonnie wants more people to get vaccine shot faster by extending the duration for people to get second shot. Get more people to get the first vaccine shot quicker.
Hmmm.
Five cases of the UK variant (technically known as the B-117 virus).
Three cases of the South African variant (known as the B-1531 virus)
