Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald says the province has been preparing for a potential COVID-19 vaccination as things move closer to having one ready. On Friday, Newfoundland and Labrador's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald spoke with CBC News one-on-one, her first such interview on camera since before the pandemic began. "We've been planning for a vaccine for quite some time, knowing really the only way through this is with a vaccine," said Fitzgerald. During Thursday's live COVID-19 briefing Fitzgerald advised against travelling outside of the province if it's for non-essential reasons. Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janice Fitzgerald says it's surreal how people are now noticing her in public.
