Physicians, surgeons and dietitians have highest rate of COVID-19 vaccination in the province at 98%
May 10, 2022
Naturopathic physicians have by far the lowest rate of COVID-19 vaccination of all regulated health practitioners in British Columbia at just 69.2 per cent, followed by chiropractors at 78.1 per cent and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists at 79 per cent.
At the high end of the scale are dietitians, physicians and surgeons with a 98 per cent vaccination rate.
The figures were released by the province Tuesday and refer to individuals who have at least two doses of vaccine or a medical exemption.
Overall, the vaccination rate among members of reporting B.C. health-care colleges is 94 per cent.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said data from the college of nurses and midwives wasn’t included in the report because it was taking longer to pull together due to the size of the cohort.
