Procurement Minister Anita Anand says there has been significant misinformation about the doses of COVID-19 vaccines the government has procured and when they will start arriving.
Anand says Canada was one of the first countries to sign a deal to get doses of Moderna's vaccine candidate, and the fourth to sign a deal with Pfizer.
Health Canada is currently reviewing four potential COVID-19 vaccines.
Pending regulatory approval, Anand says vaccine doses will begin arriving in the new year.
