Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the first shipment of 249,000 doses of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccines will arrive in the Country next week.
CANADA - The Government of Canada is going to start rolling out COVID-19 vaccines earlier than expected.
Prime Minister Justine Trudeau made the announcement this morning.
"Canada has secured an agreement with Pfizer to begin early delivery of doses of their COVID-19 vaccine candidate. We are now contracted to receive up to 249,000 of our initial doses of Pfizer BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine in the month of December. Pending Health Canada approval, the first shipment of vaccines is tracking for delivery next week. Shipments will continue to arrive into 2021, with millions of doses on the way. This will move us forward on our whole timeline of vaccine rollout and is a positive development in getting Canadians protected as soon as possible."
Trudeau says any vaccine that is approved for us in Canada is safe.
"Public Health agencies and the Provinces are working together to finalize preparations at the first 14 vaccinations sites this week. I want to assure Canadians that any vaccine approved in Canada will be safe and effective. The regulatory process is ongoing and experts are working around the clock. They will uphold Canada's globally recognized Gold standard for medical approvals."
