The B.C. government says it has seen a “significant” boost in the number of people registering for and booking COVID-19 vaccine appointments, since it announced its incoming vaccine card program.
That initiative, announced Monday, will require people to show proof of one vaccine dose by Sept. 13, and of two doses by Oct. 24, to access a variety of non-essential services including restaurants, concerts and sporting events.
According to the province, more than 19,000 people registered through the province’s Get Vaccinated portal on Monday and Tuesday, nearly triple the 6,521 people who registered on the same two days the week prior.
Actual bookings for first doses of vaccines also showed improvement, with more than 16,800 recorded on Monday and Tuesday, more than double the 8,096 on the same two days last week.
