Why is B.C. one of the few provinces not using pharmacies for COVID-19 vaccinations?
The head of one of Canada’s largest pharmacy companies is asking the B.C. government to speed up the process to utilize them for COVID-19 vaccinations.Shoppers Drug Mart president Jeff Leger said he appreciates the work government is doing to vaccinate British Columbians but they aren’t taking full advantage of the resources at their disposal.“This channel could do a lot as more volume comes into the country,” Leger told Global News.“There are 10,000 pharmacies in Canada and we think there are two to three million doses that could be administered per week.”Alberta has been using pharmacies for immunizations since the beginning of March.Ontario started using pharmacies last week and in Montreal registrations started on Monday for vaccination.
