As COVID cases rebound in BC, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry is urging people to take advantage of ``walk-in Wednesday.''
Dr. Henry says anyone can walk into clinics set up across the province today to update their vaccinations or get their first shot.
Dr. Henry says she knows some people have been displaced by wildfires or have had difficulties accessing vaccinations and now is the time to get a shot, especially as cases increase in the Interior.
BC reported 742 new cases over a four-day period on Tuesday.
The vaccination rate has slowed with 81.4 per cent of those eligible getting their first shot and 67.3 per cent fully vaccinated.
