So, in addition to the Moderna chairman saying that Canada is at the front of the line, we now have BoiNtech saying that vaccines for Canada have already been produced, and that all advanced order countries will get equitable allotment.
The slides from June earlier in this thread also show Canada as one of the first 5 countries in negotiations with Pfizer
oh snap! That certainly shines a light on the CPC/O'Fool misinformation... and purveyors of same... like member Gorgeous!
Once Canada approves the Pfizer rollout, the vaccine could ship within 24 hours. Certainly from the discussions that we've had, Canada is in a good position to approve the vaccine shortly. Upon approval, we then release the vaccine and then it is shipped. We've already produced the vaccine and reserved doses for Canada.
the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine candidate could receive approval from Health Canada as soon as this coming week. Health regulators are currently reviewing three other vaccines produced by Moderna, AstraZeneca and Jannsen.
