The Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has said that he will take the vaccine in public. He said that when people his age will be vaccinated, he will be vaccinated.
According to the report, Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine has been available in the country since December 14 with a relatively limited supply. People who are at higher risk are being vaccinated first. Among them are front row health workers and residents and staff of long-term service centers.
In an interview with CBC Television, Trudeau said, "Of course, when it's my turn, I'll take the vaccine in public and with interest." He said he would follow the advice of health experts.
Canada is going to get the next supply of Pfizer vaccine dose soon. In addition, if the modern vaccine is approved, its supply will also start. The modern vaccine is expected to be approved in the next few weeks, according to Health Canada, Canada's public health policy-making body.
Canada, a country of about 38 million people, has ordered 400 million vaccine doses from seven pharmaceutical companies. Trudeau told the CTV network that they would give the extra doses to other countries.
