WHITEHORSE -- Yukon's premier says COVID-19 vaccine uptake has been "fantastic" as just over half the territory's residents have received their first dose, but he's concerned about rising numbers of variants elsewhere in Canada.
He joined chief medical health officer Dr. Brendan Hanley in saying numbers on vaccine uptake would not be provided for specific areas to prevent pitting communities against each other. Seventy-one Yukoners have recovered from the illness and one person has died since the pandemic began. "While we recognize that immunizing the territories is the right thing to do for Canada this incredible opportunity should provide us with extra motivation to step up and get a vaccine," Hanley says.
“Top doctor”

What a joke all these new variants are coming to keep us in lockdown. 🤬
0.19% of the population was infected... 1 person died. Dafuq?
These unelected officials forget we are all citizens and have a right to travel and work or live anywhere within our national borders No federal emergency has even been declared so how are unelected officials making decisions as to our rights to travel etc They have no authority

WHY are provinces WAITING 4 MONTHS BETWEEN vaccines? Why will ALL USA citizens be VACCINATED by end of MAY, and ISREAL who has NO vaccine manufacturing, is done now while Canada is 4 MONTHS BEHIND & 54th in vaccinations in the WORLD?Trudeau’s FAILED...
