NANAIMO — Phase 3 of B.C.’s immunization plan is rolling out, including a much-sought after online booking tool.

The province announced vaccine appointments can be booked online starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 6.

“We have worked diligently and tirelessly to get this online registration, booking and tracking system ready for British Columbians,” Dr. Penny Ballam said in a release. “We’re ready to move onto the next phase of the largest vaccination program in B.C. history.”

Once the website is up and running, residents will be able to register to receive a confirmation code, which will then allow them to book their appointment.
