B.C. has hit another COVID-19 vaccine milestone, with now 80.2 per cent of adults having received a first dose according to health officials.
That percentage is among people aged 18 and older; for those aged 12 and older, 79.1 per cent of people have received at least one dose and 46 per cent of those people are fully vaccinated.
In total, 5,805,541 vaccine doses have been administered in B.C., which is 84,332 more doses than Monday.
Also today, health officials reported 33 new virus cases across the province. Interior Health continues to see a disproportionate, albeit small, number of the total new cases in B.C. There were 13 new cases today in IH, compared to 10 in Fraser Health, five in Vancouver Coastal Health, three in Island Health and one in Northern Health.
There are now 639 active cases across B.C., which is down from 658 on Monday. Of those, 155 active cases are in the Interior.
There are now 66 people in hospital with the virus and 14 people in intensive care; both of those patient counts are unchanged from Monday.
No deaths have been reported from COVID-19 today.
There remains an active COVID-19 outbreak at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, in surgical unit 6 South, which has been used as a COVID-19 patient ward during the pandemic. There are nine cases linked to that outbreak which started on June 30, but there have been no new cases reported since July 7.
