Dr. Henry says they tried to use innovative ways to target at-risk communities, including pop-up clinics. She admits there were issues but says the good news is people got vaccinated. #bcpoli #covidbc #covid19bc #covid19 #bced #cdnpoli

. @PennyDaflos asks Dr. Henry if she will apologize and take responsibility for the pop-up clinic 'free for alls.' Dr. Henry says she isn't sure she would call it a 'free for all.' She then apologizes for what happened. #bcpoli #covidbc #covid19bc #covid19 #bced #cdnpoli

She says the clinics took 'a life of their own' through social media, which saw massive lineups and frustration, anger. #bcpoli #covidbc #covid19bc #covid19 #bced #cdnpoli

Dr. Henry says 75 per cent of B.C.'s cases are made up of variants. She says all cases are treated as variants. #bcpoli #covidbc #covid19bc #covid19 #bced #cdnpoli
