VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -British Columbia’s provincial health officer says Vancouver Canucks players jumped the line when they received swine flu vaccinations this week.
“If they got the vaccine and they weren’t in any of the risk groups as individuals then they were queue-jumping,” Dr. Perry Kendall said in an interview Thursday.
“I don’t know why they queue-jumped because they only had to wait a few days.”
The H1N1 vaccine will be made available to all British Columbians on Friday.
Swine flu immunizations in the province have been restricted to people over 6 months with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, people living in isolated communities, health care workers, first responders, and healthy children and adolescents between 6 months and 18 years old.
