The province is sending the Pfizer vaccine to Thunder Bay.
It’s all part of Ontario’s plan to distribute doses of the vaccine to 17 more hospital sites over the next two weeks, which includes the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
“Following a successful pilot, we are excited to continue onto the next stage of our rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines to Ontarians,” says Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “While we are planning to ensure that everyone who wants a vaccine will receive one, we need to first protect our frontline workers and those providing essential care to our most vulnerable.”
This is part of the initial phase of the government’s three-phase vaccine implementation plan that began on December 14th in Toronto and Ottawa.
The government is also anticipating to receive doses of the Moderna vaccine once approved by Health Canada.
