Canada's first homegrown vaccine for COVID-19 is showing promising antibody results in hundreds of participants in a Phase 2 trial and could be ready for a final authorization request this summer.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu defended accepting the doses even though they were going to be stored for now, saying there's no indication yet provinces won't use them for second doses.

Even at the best of times, mixed messaging is problematic. But introducing it into an information ecosystem that’s rife with bad-faith actors and conspiracy theorists is a recipe for disaster, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Canada added a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine to its pandemic-fighting arsenal on Friday, approving Johnson & Johnson's product a week after it was authorized in the United States.

A single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine is barely enough to cover the average pinky nail but is made up of more than 280 components and requires at least three manufacturing plants to produce.

Canada is poised to receive a record number of COVID-19 vaccine doses this week thanks to scheduled deliveries from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, as the country looks to speed up its vaccination efforts.

A month-long slowdown in Canada's COVID-19 vaccine deliveries should end next week, with the single biggest shipment of vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech to date and almost two million doses expected in the next month.

Almost two in three Canadians surveyed recently said they trust COVID-19 vaccines to be both safe and effective.

In the end, what most Canadians want isn’t an election over the COVID vaccination program but an effective and expeditious delivery rollout, columnist Max Fawcett writes.

Every COVID-19 vaccine maker Canada signed a contract with last summer was asked if they could make the doses in Canada and all of them concluded they could not, Procurement Minister Anita Anand said on Thursday, February 4, 2021.

Experts say delaying the second dose of some COVID-19 vaccines could lead to the emergence of new variants of the virus — but there's no sign it has happened yet.
