On Sunday, the message will be sent to those aged 54+, then on Tuesday anyone aged 52+ will receive it, and on Thursday it will be sent to anyone aged 50 and up.

In order to receive the notification, people must be registered on the Get Vaccinated website.

Registration is available to all BC residents aged 18 and up, it can be done online, through a provincial call centre or in person at a Service BC location.
