Four out of five health authorities in B.C. used up their Pfizer supply last week.

The province gave the vaccine to 20,000 people over the last four days, a pace they can’t really eclipse based on supply estimates from the Ottawa.

For vaccine timelines in B.C, key questions are:

- Does B.C.’s pace from last week slow down for something other than lack of promised supply?
- Do the AstraZeneca and Janssen vaccine get approved in the next couple of months?
- Do supply timelines for Pfizer/Moderns change?

This is why giving people firm estimates for when they'll be vaccinated is tricky.

If both AstraZeneca and Janssen get approved/are effective, things could happen quickly for a lot of people in the summer.

If they aren't, a lot of folks could be waiting until fall.

Alberta has taken a conservative approach in saying the majority of people probably won't be vaccinated until the fall.

This is unknowable, but it does safeguard against high expectations.

anyhow everyone is anxious all the time right now which is fun for our lack of certainty
