      BC is currently trying to “swallow the elephant” of unexpected vaccine supply coming in, according to vaccine rollout chief Dr. Penny Ballem, who’s overseeing the parallel streams (more on that in a bit). This is the gfx she presented on Thursday showing what’s happened: 1/x 🧵pic.twitter.com/qg2esPsTu9

      This is part of the reason every adult is now expected to have a shot by Canada Day. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/all-eligible-adults-by-the-end-of-june-see-b-c-s-updated-immunization-timeline-1.5353072 … But I think it’s pretty clear they weren’t expecting to have this much vaccine this early. 2/xpic.twitter.com/nffgbx6t4p

      It still baffles me the centralized provincial website wasn’t supposed to be ready till mid-April and they’ve pushed it to Apr 6 for what’s a bit of a soft launch as part of the age-based rollout stream. 3/xhttps://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-phasing-out-covid-19-vaccine-booking-phone-lines-online-platform-launches-april-6-1.5353319 …

      So why are so many people who don’t seem eligible getting vaccinated? I have a theory. There are essentially two simultaneous vaccination campaigns underway: age-based (more likely to die) and occupation/risk-based (most likely to be exposed and get sick). 4/x

      Age-based is methodical but slow because you’re trying to scoop up everyone in a systematic way that doesn’t overwhelm the scheduling system. Props to @Fraserhealth for having their online portal ready: what a black eye for @VCHhealthcare that they didn’t have the same. 5/x

      The risk-based vaccination stream makes a lot of sense and is influenced by the work of @CarolineColijn and her colleagues: people in the community who can’t distance or are harder to protect are driving up infection numbers overall. 6/xhttps://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/it-s-time-to-rethink-study-questions-b-c-s-age-based-approach-to-covid-19-vaccinations-1.5323195 …

      (As an aside, whenever you hear Dr. Henry and others talking about most people not spreading the virus to others, this is very insightful from @zeynep. We are not all at equal risk nor does the virus spread evenly: 7/x)https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/k-overlooked-variable-driving-pandemic/616548/ …

      I think the data in this article has been behind much of Dr Henry’s strategy. Attempting to limit the incidence of spreader events whilst keeping as much as possible open.

      Yes, it really clicked when I read it. She’s been trying to explain the strategy to us but the article does so in a way I was able to absorb a lot easier.
