About 4,000 of the 30,000 doses that Canada received are being transferred to two sites in the Lower Mainland: one in Metro Vancouver and one in the Fraser Valley.

The first batch of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arrived in Canada on Sunday evening. The doses will now be sent to 14 distribution sites across the country.

Dr. Bonnie Henry said Thursday there will only be enough COVID-19 vaccine at first for people in priority groups, including vulnerable seniors and health-care workers.
