Coronavirus: First COVID-19 vaccines administered in Canada
Canada is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in Canada on Monday.
In Ontario, the first vaccines were given to long-term care workers and will continue to be doled out to those considered high risk to the virus. But the overall delivery of the vaccine to the Canadian public is unlikely to begin until 2021. Eric Sorensen reports on the process unfolding in Ontario.
Quebec was the other province to see vaccines administered on Monday, with long-term care homes seeing the first doses. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine needs to be kept ultra cold and was deemed too complex to move vaccinations beyond inside hospitals in many jurisdictions.
But Quebec overcame that and as Mike Armstrong explains, some of the most vulnerable Quebecers are the first to be protected.
