If you are 55 or older, you can now register to get vaccinated against COVID-19 through the provincial vaccination plan, and over the next few days, people aged 50 and 40 will be able to start registering.
As part of B.C.’s vaccination roll-out plan, anyone born in 1966 or earlier can register to get their first Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine shot now.
Also eligible are indigenous people 18 or older, and people with health conditions that make them vulnerable to infections.
Starting April 14, those in 1971 (50 and up) can starty registering. On April 16, those 45 and up can start registering and on April 19, those who are 40 and up (born 1981) can start registering.
There are three ways to register for the provincial vaccination program:
- online, at gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated
- by phone, at 1-833-838-2323
- in person at your local BC Service Centre.
Lower Mainlanders aged 55 to 65 can also opt to jump the provincial queue and get a shot through certain pharmacies in the Lower Mainland, which can administer the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Here is the list of pharmacies that can provide the AstraZeneca shot.
