Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is officially approved for use in Canada, with limited rollout set to begin to priority groups “within days” and vaccination of the general population anticipated to start in April.
Health Canada announced its approval of the vaccine Wednesday after reviewing clinical trial data submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech, issuing the decision in a notice on its website.
The regulator emphasized there have been no serious safety concerns from the vaccine.
“The availability of a safe and effective vaccine will reduce the spread and severity of COVID-19 disease and reduce its social and economic consequences,” said Health Canada.
