With several COVID-19 vaccines currently seeking approval from Health Canada, Pfizer is expected to likely be the first to see its product approved and doses to inoculate three million Canadians could arrive in early January or sooner.

Initial shipments of vaccines to arrive in Canada will be rolled out differently. Moderna, if approved, will be shipped to one location in Canada and then sent to communities nationwide. While Pfizer will be sent directly to communities because it requires specially designed temperature-controlled shipment and storage containers with it needing to stay in ultra cold temperatures for up to 10 days unopened. It's expected 14 sites across Canada will be ready for Pfizer's vaccine.

Provinces and territories are expected to see the vaccine distributed on a per capita basis, but it will be up to them to administer the vaccine.

Abigail Bimman takes a look at how Canada is preparing for the rollout and the questions that still have yet to be answered.
