Canada Administers Its First Dose Of Covid19 Vaccine
~1.7 mins read
Saskatchewan has administered its first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to health-care workers in Regina.
Nurses at the Regina General Hospital gave the province’s first shots to a critical care doctor and an emergency room nurse this evening.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority says the injections happened less than five hours after the first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine arrived in the province.
The first vaccinations in Canada happened Monday in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City and are rolling out elsewhere across the country.
Saskatchewan says nearly 2,000 health-care workers are to be immunized over the coming days as part of a pilot program that will test the province’s vaccine delivery and storage.
The workers include staff in intensive care units, emergency departments and COVID-19 units at the Regina General.
Staff at Regina’s Pasqua Hospital, as well as workers at COVID-19 testing and assessment centres, will also get the vaccine.

A joint statement from provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix says 688 people have died since the pandemic started.
There were 522 new cases of COVID-19 for a total of 43,463 cases.
The statement says it’s a momentous day in the province with the start of the first vaccine clinics, but people need to remember they have to protect themselves and others while the vaccines roll out.
