Dentists and bus drivers among those feeling disappointed for not being prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine in BC
BY , Jan 25, 2021 6:38 PM - REPORT AN ERRORDentists and bus drivers are among those disappointed they will not be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine in BC.
The province had initially considered prioritizing essential workers, but on Friday said it planned to take an age-based approach instead because older people are more likely to die of COVID-19.
The British Columbia Dental Association has written a letter to Premier John Horgan urging him to include dentists in stage two of the vaccination plan along with family doctors and specialists.
Unifor Local 111, which represents Metro Vancouver bus drivers, is also demanding that its members be included in stage two.
It says they're risking their lives to provide transportation to the general public.
