The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is available for people ages 55 to 65 through 13 pharmacies in the Okanagan.
According to the B.C. Pharmacy Association (BCPA), the vaccine shots are only available as a patient’s first dose.
“Distribution of vaccine is ongoing and will be delivered to pharmacies based on when supply arrives,” said the BCPA. “Pharmacies with online booking ask that you try to book online before calling.”
The association added that some locations may allow drop-in service.
Patients will be required to bring their personal health number, which is located on their CareCard or B.C. Services Card.
