Canadians could get 1st dose of COVID-19 vaccine by summer, officials say | FULL

Canadian health officials say there could be enough COVID-19 vaccines to give a single dose to every adult in Canada who wants one by the summer.

Maj-Gen. Dany Fortin said Thursday that if other approved vaccines are added to the mix and if they are administered as rapidly as possible, the rollout “will meet the target of vaccinating or offering the vaccines to as many people as possible in the summer timeframe or by fall.”

Despite positive indications on delivery forecasts, Fortin said he still wanted to stay somewhat “prudent” with that timeframe. “I would remind you that while there’s no indication of disruption of fluctuations in production, it is a pandemic with global demand on vaccines,” he said. “They are being produced as rapidly as possible but are always subject to fluctuation.”

Health Canada says more than 8.5 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are scheduled to arrive in Canada over the next eight weeks. Fortin also provided more clarity on what’s expected for Moderna through the spring, saying that Canada should receive 846,000 doses throughout the week of March 22.

If our military is involved they should get it in 15 years or so.

I dont understand what am i supposed to do with this information. This also feels so 🐌

[snaglebagle]

i'm on the governments side at this point, everyone willing to take the vaccine deserves the vaccine :)

Doctor Tam - would you be willing to provide Canadians with transcripts of your studies at University of Nottingham, University of Alberta, and UBC? There is growing doubt that you are "Canada's Top Doctor", or that you even attended these schools at all. Not one person can be found at these schools who remembers you.

They have been grooming Tam for years for this. She was with UN and still works close with them. Their agenda?

BIG PROBLEM - you need a 2ND DOSE in 4 weeks! Not 4 MONTHS!

[QHook]

what i want is the names of the people who believe they have the authority to impose a vaccine passport system, and where they believe that authority comes from.

Canada's Vaccination Rate is below some 3rd world countries. Embarrassing. 1.6% in 3.5 months

These promoters of this poison need to be held accountable for the future carnage it will cause.

Death jab. No thanks, I'd rather live.

Everyone in these comments feels like the protagonist in a government takeover movie and it is hilarious.

Why France, Germany, Spain, Italy, South Africa plus other countries questions about efficacy and side effects of Oxford-AstraZeneca, why can't Canada get something safer and work for different ages and those who already have other sickness not cheapest One using old technology?!

[codyblake]

Funny how they didn’t list these adverse affects...

[moewilson]

So a neighbour of mine got the first dose. He has to wait four months before the second dose. His daughter who lives in California and is a pharmacist is saying that long of wait between doses will make the vaccine ineffective. So, what is the point of getting the first dose when it is your turn if it is going to be that long of a wait before a second dose?
