COVID-19 vaccination in Canada
The COVID-19
vaccination programme in Canada is an ongoing, intergovernmental effort
coordinated between the bodies responsible in the Government of Canada to
acquire and distribute vaccines to individual Provincial and Territorial
governments who in turn administer approved COVID-19 vaccines during the
COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Some provinces have asked local Municipal
governments and hospital systems to aid in part, or in full with vaccination
rollout. The vaccination effort in full is the largest such immunization effort
in the nation's history. With Health Canada approving the Pfizer–BioNTech
COVID-19 vaccine on December 9, 2020, mass vaccination efforts began across the
country on December 14, 2020. The agency later approved the mRNA-1273 vaccine
developed by Moderna on December 23 2020.
