Saturday the province expanded eligibility to new vulnerable populations, as long as they received their second dose at least six months ago. 

Robblee booked her shot for later this month, and says she is eagerly anticipating the next dose. 

"Along with most of my coworkers we’ve been 9-10 months since our second shot and a lot of people that I know really jumped at the chance to sign up first thing this morning so that we can get some extra protection," she said.
