BCCDC COVID-19 Dashboard:
Vaccination rate information by local health authority and by community is available on the BCCDC COVID-19 Surveillance Dashboard. Please note the following two tabs:
Vax Progress – % of vaccinated population by health authority and by community. You can customize the information on the righthand side by selecting a specific health authority, age group, as well as 1st vs. 2nd dose (see sample screenshot below).
Vax by Age – summary of vaccination progress in BC and by health authority.
BCCDC Modelling Research on Asymptomatic COVID-19 Testing:
The BCCDC has provided two links to modelling information on asymptomatic COVID-19 testing:
A manuscript submitted for peer-review noting that the routine screening of unvaccinated individuals may be of limited benefit if vaccination coverage is 80% or greater within a university setting; and,
An online app to explore the modelling results.
We hope you find this BCCDC information helpful. Thank you for the important role you play in supporting the provincial COVID-19 response. Please share this update broadly within your respective institutions.
