Vax Pass providing incentive to get COVID-19 shot
CBC
P.E.I.'s Vax Pass policy begins Tuesday, and it may be no coincidence that vaccination clinics and pharmacies are seeing a boost in first-dose bookings for COVID-19 shots.

Angela Cameron said she reluctantly got her first dose on Monday, because she wants to be allowed in the hockey rink to cheer on her kids.
"We definitely don't want to miss out and be sitting in the car, missing goals and everything like that," she said.

But even with that concern out of the way, she still feels she and her husband have been strong-armed into getting the shot.
