Canada expects to receive more than 6.5 million Covid-19 vaccines by the end of March, with tens of millions more vaccines arriving between April and June, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said

Canada has secured access to nearly 400 million doses of vaccines, but manufacturers have been slow to ship the authorized medicine. Just 2.8% of the country's approximately 38 million people have received at least one dose compared to more than 14% of people in the United States. In a press briefing Friday, Trudeau repeated his expectation that every Canadian who wants a vaccine will receive one by September.

— Dr. Theresa Tam February 26, 2021 Over the past week, there were 2,269 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals and 564 patients receiving critical care, Tam added. As of Friday, 964 cases of the B.1.1.7 variant, 44 cases of the B.1.351 variant and two cases of the P.1 variant had been reported in Canada, Tam said. Tam warned that as new, more transmissible variants spread,"controlling the epidemic will be much more difficult.

Why are aborininal people being vaccinated before other Canadians. Even Canadian with pre-existing conditions. This is discrimination and should not be allowed to happen. If they are high risk they should be in the high risk group, not a seperate group

This guy misses EVERY promise (well, he did weed). Hello CNN. Who in Justin circle begged you to write this?

Expects.... meaning hopes?

What is the size of the Canadian population? Are those vaccines enough to cover all, Mr. Prime Minister?

So that’s 5% of the populations first does, meanwhile there are still people in care homes not vaccinated!!! What a disgrace, incompetent government that has hidden away for most of the pandemic except to get filmed on his doorstep now and again...sorry our doorstep taxpayers
