OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada has signed several agreements for potential COVID-19 vaccines and should be able to get them out to a large part of the population by the end of next year, one of Canada’s top doctors said on Tuesday.
“If all goes well… we’ll have a suite of vaccines available, and if we get delivery of those vaccines, I certainly can anticipate that as the year goes on … (Canadians) will be able to be vaccinated and have a large part of the population covered by the end of the year,” Deputy Chief Medical Officer Howard Njoo told reporters.
