“This is a crucial moment. We have a window of opportunity to rapidly accelerate vaccine uptake and close the protection gap in younger age groups with the lowest vaccine coverage. There's no magic number [vaccination rate] except to say reach for the stars. I have a 100 per cent mark on that graph. That's where people should be aiming toward as much as possible. I believe that we can accelerate and I know that provinces are pulling all stops in different ways. While that is being rapidly analyzed, I would ask for caution and patience for a booster dose for the rest of the population because we haven't seen enough data, and based on the information we have at hand in Canada we're not seeing a lot of breakthrough infections.”

“The clots that we see with VIPIT [vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia] - they're serious. If you're not aware of them they can be hard to diagnose, they can be hard to treat. If you're older and likely to experience all the other horrible things that COVID does, including killing you, then your decision about urgency and needing any vaccine frankly is really different from somebody who is younger and probably better able to weather the storms of COVID.”

“We are concerned with the new reports of restrictions out of the EU - or potential restrictions out of the EU - and we will be continuing to work with our counterparts, including direct contact from me to the highest levels of the European Commission, in order to ensure that Canada's supply of vaccines is not in danger, is not interrupted.”

“This is very encouraging news. It means more people vaccinated, and sooner. Because for AstraZeneca, just like we were for Pfizer and Moderna, we are ready to get doses rolling. Vaccines will keep arriving faster and faster as we head into the spring.”

“Turning to Covax demonstrates the desperation of the Trudeau government in terms of its vaccine policy. Taking [vaccine supply] from a multilateral institution that was designed particularly to help the world's poor is shocking and an embarrassment.”

“The next few weeks will be challenging when it comes to deliveries. That said, Dr. Bourla assured me that hundreds of thousands of Pfizer doses will be delivered the week of February 15 and in the weeks to follow.”

“Prior to Christmas ... we exercised 20 million options of Moderna. So that allows us to have 40 million doses of Moderna now in addition to our 20 million Pfizer doses. That allows us to hit about 30 million Canadians. We will be on track, without doubt, to ensure inoculations for all Canadians who want it by the end of September, if not sooner. That is the goal that I am pursuing every single day, moving up that end of September timeline so that we can see ourselves through to the other side of this pandemic as quickly as possible.”

“I can't imagine where we'd be if we had to go through another year of this. We're going to see a very small impact with the first 250,000 doses. I would hope that as we get going through the first quarter, with another 2.75 million Canadians immunized, that we'll get somewhere. But the real turn from the standpoint of broad community spread is going to come when we do that second wave [of vaccinations] through April, May, June. To get to a level where you slow this down, you need to vaccinate about 20 million Canadians minimum. That's 400,000 shots a day for three months solid, seven days a week - that's a massive task. I'm very optimistic that we're going to see this thing slow in the summer, meaningfully, and that we will be breathing more easily in the fall. But I think we've got a tough few months ahead.”

“Canadians can have confidence ... the vaccine was authorized only after a thorough assessment of the evidence demonstrated it had met Health Canada's strict standards for efficacy, safety and quality. It's an exceptional day for Canada. In a year when we haven't had a lot of good news, this is a bit of good news and we should acknowledge that. We are always on the lookout for more serious adverse events. It is still a vaccine and there are potential risks even if they are rare. That's why it's important that we still continue to monitor it. Because these vaccines will be used in otherwise healthy people ... our tolerance for safety issues is very, very low.”

“This is historic. We couldn't be more proud that Pfizer and BioNTech were able to bring to Canada the first COVID-19 vaccine. We think this represents a monumental change in the way that we are fighting the pandemic, and hopefully represents the first big step towards normalcy. I would reassure Canadians that the scientific rigour and regulatory oversight that went into this product is as robust, if not more robust, than any other vaccine that's been brought to market.”

“If I use the U.K. as an example, we got approval at 1:00 am in the morning. We approved [the] release of the vaccine and shipped it within 24 hours. Certainly from the discussions that we've had, Canada is in a good position to approve the vaccine shortly. Upon approval, we then release the vaccine and then it is shipped. We've already produced the vaccine and reserved doses for Canada.”

“It's a bit difficult to say exactly the day, because we're still getting, as we said, information submitted by the company. But things have been progressing really well, and we're expecting within the next week to 10 days to be making a final decision. We're expecting some information [from the drug companies] today and some information tomorrow as well, and then of course we'll be working through the weekend - as we always do - to take a look at it. I think we're saying around mid-December at the latest, but it really depends on the data. There's a group of seven to 10 reviewers that are working on all aspects of the submission - there's hundreds of thousands of pages. And their only criteria is really making sure that the science is sound and that the vaccine is safe.”

“As soon as Health Canada has provided its approval, we are well-placed to begin deliveries to Canadians as soon as possible. We will kick into the delivery process ASAP. That's why we have the refrigerators procured. That's why we have the needles, syringes and gauze procured.”

“Everyone wants to know when this is going to be over. What Canadians can know is we have the plan necessary to get through this, to get the vaccines here, to get the vaccines into people's arms, and we're going to do it with the provinces who have a high degree of expertise on this. It is so important that these vaccines be safe for Canadians and we're not going to cut any corners on making sure that, when Health Canada gives the thumbs up, that this vaccine is safe to go and to release into the population, [that] people can know that it will indeed be safe.”
