COVID-19 Vaccine Planning – Announcement from the Province of New Brunswick

A detailed vaccine plan for New Brunswick is being developed, and priority groups who will receive the vaccine first have been determined. These groups include:

• long-term care residents and staff;
• staff from Provincial Rapid Outbreak Management Teams who respond to COVID-19 outbreaks;
• Extra-Mural/Ambulance New Brunswick staff;
• health-care workers;
• First Nations nurses; and
• seniors 85 or older.

“We expect the first 1,950 doses of the Pfizer vaccine to arrive in New Brunswick next week,” said Greg MacCallum, director of the New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization. “In a province of more than 700,000 people, a total of 1,950 doses is a small number, but it is the first step in a program of regular deliveries going forward. We need people to understand that it will take much of 2021 to roll out and administer vaccine to all New Brunswickers, and to all Canadians.”
