Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada has become the first country to secure millions of doses of booster vaccines from Pfizer to help battle COVID-19 into the future.
Trudeau told a news conference this morning that his government has secured roughly 35-million doses next year and 30-million the year after. He says the boosters will be the latest versions of vaccine, designed to protect against future strains of COVID-19.
Trudeau is encouraging all Canadians to get vaccinated, and announced he and wife Sophie will be getting their AstraZeneca shots Friday afternoon.
