There are 2,800 active cases of COVID-19 in B.C. and a further 139,899 people who tested positive have recovered.

There have been no new COVID-19 related deaths for a total of 1,703 deaths in B.C.

The Province also says the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) has confirmed the safety and effectiveness of interchanging vaccines and reaffirmed the recommendation to prioritize second doses for those at highest risk of severe illness and death.

Specifically, NACI advises people who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca COVISHIELD vaccine may safely receive either the same vaccine or an mRNA vaccine for their second dose. Additionally, people who received a first dose of one type of mRNA vaccine may safely receive another mRNA vaccine for their second dose.

Henry says more information will be provided on this later this week.
