The year ahead: What an initial three million vaccinations will mean for the pandemic in Canada


Article content continuedIn Canada, about 70 per cent of the death toll from the virus has been in those over 80. The government expects four million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to be available to Canadians between now and the end of March, with an additional two million doses of Moderna’s similar vaccine set to roll out in roughly the same time frame. Both vaccines require two doses, meaning three million Canadians could be fully immunized against the virus by the end of March. Three million of more than 38 million Canadians is little more than a dent. The U.K. has said it plans to have most of its at risk population vaccinated by March or April.
