and since Britain approved the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer last week to occupy first place in the global race to start the most important mass vaccination program in history, the focus has shifted to the extent How quickly other countries move and when will the vaccine be available to people.
Canada expects the first 6 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna to arrive in the first quarter of 2021, enough for 3 million of Canada's 38 million people.
