MONTREAL — The first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine have arrived in Canada.
Some of the country's initial 30,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines touched down on Sunday night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Twitter, sharing a photo of a plane being unloaded.
"This is good news," he said. "But our fight against COVID-19 is not over. Now more than ever, let’s keep up our vigilance."
The plane touched down at Mirabel International Airport in Montreal, the local airport authority said, adding that it wouldn't share any further details.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines are bound for 14 distribution sites across the country, across all 10 provinces, and more doses are expected to cross the border on Monday.
