Here it comes, things are also unraveling in Brazil as the variant there is reinfecting the survivors of the last year and each day brings a new record death toll. It's on track to do the same in the USA.

Vaccination rates in Canada are lagging far behind the USA, we can't seem to get the supplies since we don't make them here, but that is gonna change! The new Brazilian variant might be reinfecting some of those who had cases before, but what is their condition compared to those who were not infected before? Does a previous infection lower the severity of subsequent disease? There are credible reports that the Pfizer vaccine is effective against this variant too, my concern is the low rate of vaccination in Canada. Not much point ragging on the government, they are taking what they can get and made all the arrangements long ago, we now have 4 approved vaccines here. Like in America, vaccination rates are ramping up rapidly though.

Ford says anybody from Ontario that wants a vaccine can get one by the end of August, so we’ll see.

I'm also beginning to think that there is no way that the whole world population is going to be vaccinated in time to beat Covid ,it would take a level of co-operation and charity between nations that I have'nt seen. So inevitably I think when US reaches herd immunity there will be a lot of travel bans.Also due to this outcome yearly shots w/tweaked vaccines to combat the inevitable mutations will be the norm unfortunately.ccguns

We should be on par with the states at least, considering Trump was running the show down there 50 days ago and we've been cutting deals with manufacture's right from the beginning and have grossly over ordered (that's ok, we can give it away or sell it). I wanna see future domestic mRNA vaccine production and it's already happening in Alberta I believe, mRNA technology will allow countries like Canada to produce their own vaccines economically in the future.

Supplies are allocated according to need I believe and Canada has a much lower infection rate than America, though with Joe that is rapidly changing, or was until asshole governors decided to fully reopen. Where I live in NS infection rates are pretty low, so we are on the tail end of supply.

About 80% live in a 100 mile wide strip along the US border, I live on an island at the end of the world hundreds of miles from the border, covid shows up here too, from time to time. Rates of infection are low enough that we test, contact trace and isolate cases. I'm 66 and expect to get a vaccine by April sometime I figure.
