First long-term care resident in Fraser Health receives COVID-19 vaccine

THE first long-term care resident in Fraser Health to receive the COVID-19 vaccine was 77-year-old Andy Yoon of Abbotsford on Thursday.

Fraser Health noted that as Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry mentioned, the vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna have provided guidance on how to safely transport the approved vaccines. This means that as deliveries increase in the coming weeks, the vaccine will increasingly be available in more locations, including long term care homes.
