SASK. EXPECTS TO RECEIVE 180K VACCINE DOSES IN FIRST BATCH
The province said it expects to receive approximately 180,000 doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer once approved in Canada.
Speaking on Thursday, Saskatchewan’s Minister of Health Paul Merriman said the federal government has secured an initial batch of six million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to be distributed in the first quarter of 2021.
He said four million doses are expected from Pfizer and two million are expected from Moderna.
Pfizer along with its German partner, BioNTech, offered preliminary data to suggest its vaccine appears 95 per cent effective.
Officials in both Alberta and Ontario shared on Wednesday specific numbers about how many vaccine doses those provinces expect to receive.
However, federal officials said there is uncertainty about the manufacturing and distribution of a vaccine and it is too early to lock in those specific details.
“The next few weeks will be very important, as it is pretty clear now that this pandemic will only end when we have a widespread distribution of a safe and effective vaccine,” he said.
Merriman said Saskatchewan health officials are currently developing a distribution plan. He added those at higher risk would be given priority.
