Canada’s Fight Against COVID-19

Canadians received their first COVID-19 inoculations on December 14, after the earliest batch of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines landed in the country the night before.
The first shots were given to frontline health care workers and elderly home care residents.
Canada was the third country in the world to administer the Pfizer-BioNTech
The Moderna shot, on December 23, became the second vaccine to be greenlit by regulatory agency Health Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that some 249,000 doses of the Pfizer- BioNTech shot was scheduled to reach Canada in December, while a consignment of another three million doses was set to come by January next year.
Canada banned passenger flights coming from Britain when the news of rising cases of the mutant coronavirus strain broke earlier in December.
The AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, which got a thumbs-up on Wednesday from the UK government for public use, is reportedly under evaluation along with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Canada.
The federal government has reportedly reserved a total of over 400 million COVID-19 vaccine doses from different pharmaceutical companies.
