PRINCE GEORGE – It was felt across BC, call centres flooded with calls from over 1.5 million British Columbians trying to register to get their COVID-19 vaccines in the first few hours the phone lines were open.
Northern Health confirmed to CKPG News their call centre was not unlike the rest of BC, only saying they were inundated with calls, asking people to be patient, and not call unless they are eligible.
BC Health Officials pleading on Monday to only call when you become eligible, currently only those over 90, and those Indigenous and over 65 are eligible to register.
The list of those who are eligible to call expands again on Wednesday, with all of those over 80 years old will become eligible to register for an appointment.
