Seafood plant workers have been put near the top of the list for vaccines on P.E.I., and that should reduce worries during this spring's lobster fishery. Health PEI officials said the booking has been going more quickly than anticipated so they're ahead of schedule. People aged 18-29 who work in food service could make appointments to be vaccinated at participating Island pharmacies beginning this past Thursday. No new cases were announced on P.E.I. Finance Minister Darlene Compton presented the provincial operating budget, covering a year that could see a gradual economic recovery as COVID-19 vaccines are administered to Islanders and would-be visitors alike.
