I have always agreed with Dr. Bonnie Henry, our Provincial Health Officer. In the middle of spring break she allowed 9,000 teachers and school employees to be vaccinated. I was happy for the teachers. I didn't realize our first responders, police and firefighters had not received the vaccine.
They are the people who protect us! Why weren't they first in line? Now with Astra Zeneca having blood clot concerns, the essential worker vaccines are halted! The village workers of Whistler, the entire City of Prince Rupert and other entire remote communities are being immunized. All indigenous people 18 and over are eligible!
There are 805 RCMP officers and 409 Fire Fighters in Surrey. I'm not sure how many ambulance personnel, but this is not a large number of people.
Dr. Bonnie, please put the age based group on hold and get these people, who put their lives on the line every day, vaccinated! If I wasn't already vaccinated, I would give one of them my spot.
