The COVID-19 pandemic

The article says they're not planning to lower the age, but there's other criteria. Phase 2 is all about occupational risk, and medical history risk, rather than age-based risk. At this point basically everyone working outside the home (which is a majority of people) is in phase 2. So they won't lower the age, but they will add more and more groups as phase 2 goes on.

I also don't think the four weeks statement is fully accurate. Everyone I know that has pre-registered has gotten an appointment within two weeks.

And the 55+ vaccine queue is very short. We got our appointment the next day after (pre?)registering, and got our shots two days after that. Other people I know are getting theirs as walk-ins (Beechwood Zehrs was doing that, as I recall).

On the provincial level, over 112,000 people vaccinated yesterday.

I am 67 and still don't have an appointment, though I pre-registered on April 1st. I also pre-registered at two pharmacies and neither have contacted me.
