A 90-year-old woman has become the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine after its approval in the UK, where the NHS has launched its biggest vaccine campaign.
In Canada, Two hospitals in Ontario will begin administering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine next week, the provincial government announced Thursday.
Based on Ontario’s population, the province should expect nearly 100,000 of the 249,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine procured by the federal government, and 12,000 of the 30,000 that would be available in Canada next week.
Meanwhile, Ontario is expected to get “anywhere from 35,000 to 85,000 doses” of the Moderna vaccine by the end of this month, pending its approval by Health Canada.
It is exciting to know this quite big news after a long wait. Vaccination in Canada brings pease of mind for all the native students, international students and their parents.
