Halifax nurse Danielle Sheaves receives the first COVID-19 vaccination given in Nova Scotia on Dec. 16, 2020. (Robert Short/CBC)Halifax epidemiologist Kevin Wilson said Monday that Nova Scotia has "pretty drastically ramped up its speed of vaccination" over the last two weeks. "Everyone started leaving first, everyone started accelerating and then Nova Scotia, a little bit after that, started going," he said. Nova Scotia was the last holdout, changing its strategy only in the week of March 15-22. Brown was the first senior in Nova Scotia to receive her vaccine in a community-based vaccination clinic.
