The first vaccine for COVID-19 will soon be on its way to Canada. Approval has been granted for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and the first innoculations could happen as early as Monday. For weeks, Health Canada officials have been analyzing data from Pfizer's clinical trials, concluding it meets the department's stringent safety and efficacy quality requirements for usage in Canada. The first 30,000 doses ship later this week from Belgium. By the end of December, 249,000 doses are expected, and by the end of March, 4 million.
Not everyone will get the vaccine right away, as these first doses will go to 14 vaccination sites across the country. Most Canadians will have to be patient and other vaccine candidates are in the pipeline for approval, too. David Akin has our top story on Canada’s first dose of optimism.
