Coronavirus: What's happening in Canada and around the world on Saturday
Vaccine rollout will face 'range of logistical and operational challenges,' Tam says
Canada's chief public health officer said Saturday that although Ottawa is making preparations for a COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the operation will face a "range of logistical and operational challenges," and Canadians should continue to fight the coronavirus with established public health measures before and after.
"An initial supply of vaccines is expected to become available in early 2021, and although supply will be limited at the outset, Canada is well positioned to provide access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines for all Canadians," Dr. Theresa Tam said in a statement.
A panel of health experts on Friday released updated guidelines on who should be vaccinated first against the illness, saying provinces and territories should prioritize long-term care home residents and staff, Canadians over 80, health-care workers and adults in Indigenous communities where infections can have disproportionately more serious consequences.
The first batch will be enough for roughly three million Canadians. Pfizer's vaccine, which is expected to be the first product approved for use in Canada, requires two doses.
Procurement Minister Anita Anand on Friday said Canada has increased its order with Moderna and now expects at least 40 million doses from the U.S. company in 2021 — twice as much as was previously guaranteed.
Anand said Canada is exercising its option to obtain more of Moderna's two-dose candidate, which should be enough to vaccinate almost 20 million people.
Mammoth COVID-19 vaccine rollout highlights need for national vaccine registry, some experts say
Tam offered assurances on Saturday that all Canadians will eventually have access to the COVID-19 vaccine but warned that inoculations on their own are not enough to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
"As we continue to prepare the way for widespread and lasting control of COVID-19 through safe and effective vaccines, Canada must continue with the collective effort of individuals and public health authorities to sustain the response," she said, reiterating her call for Canadians to practise physical distancing, wearing masks and frequent hand washing.
Her comments come as cases and hospitalizations spike across Canada.
