Moderna’s vaccine candidate is now the most advanced in Canada's regulatory process, but there isn’t a date or estimate yet for when it may be approved. Because this vaccine does not require the same degree of cold storage, the logistical rollout of Moderna doses is expected to be less challenging and opens up the potential locations across the country where it can be administered.
If approved, it would be the first vaccine to be delivered using Canada’s contracted delivery plan through FedEx Express Canada to have doses shipped across the country.
On Dec. 4 the government announced it had updated its deal with Moderna to secure the delivery of an additional 20 million doses of its vaccine candidate “based on the best scientific data available to date, and on the recommendation of the Public Health Agency of Canada and the vaccine task force.”
