News Millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccines expected to arrive in Ontario by March SHARE ON: Casey Kenny, staff Wednesday, Nov. 18th, 2020 (supplied by Pixabay) Canada will be getting four million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Ontario’s Health Minister Christine Elliott says this province will receive 1-point-six million shots of the Pfizer vaccine and 8-hundred thousand of the Moderna vaccine between January and March. Pfizer announced Wednesday morning its vaccine has proven to be 95-percent effective in late stage trials. Both doses must be stored at sub-zero temperatures and people need to get two shots 21 days apart. Elliott says this does mean some logistical challenges but the Health Ministry has an entire team working on a plan.
