The Prince Edward Island government announced Friday the Island will receive an additional 29,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine before the end of June. Premier Dennis King said the extra doses, arriving in two shipments before the end of the month, were promised after he lobbied Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week. King said the extra doses mean Islanders may be vaccinated sooner than the province anticipated when it set out its reopening plan at the end of May — so that plan could change. "We said from the beginning that we would reassess our reopening plan if factors changed. With these additional vaccines we will review our Moving Forward plan and share further details with Islanders next week."
