COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in Canada
The Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 has been approved by Health Canada, and the Moderna vaccine is pending approval and will be delivered once approved.
The COVID-19 vaccines require two doses, spaced several weeks apart, and will be free for everyone in British Columbia.
Initial vaccines will be administered to high-priority populations, with first priority for residents and workers in long-term care and assisted living facilities. More vaccines are expected to be available in January 2021.
Priority vaccine groups include:
- Residents and staff of congregate living settings that provide care for seniors such as long-term care homes.
- Adults 70 years of age and older, beginning with adults 80 years of age and older, then decreasing the age limit by 5-year increments to age 70 as supply becomes available.
- Health care workers (including all those who work in health care settings and personal support workers whose work involves direct contact with patients).
- Adults in Indigenous communities where infection can have disproportionate consequences.
