You can expect a few others, Astra Zeneca, Moderna and J&J to come out with approvals in the next 3-6 months as well.

Pfizer's annual manufacturing capacity is 15-20M doses total so the PM saying that we ordered 20M doses is a bit ... hilarious. We probably won't be getting much of that first batch except for essential personnel.
The AZ vaccine is the one to watch, but that's the want where we are fourth down on the waiting list? So again, due to unsurprising issues with Canadian procurement, we will all have to wait awhile to get this vaccine - certainly behind the Americans and Brits. That said, AZ is already producing their vaccine candidate and should have hundreds of millions ready to go in January.
Posting this again. Read it and see how far behind Canada is in the vaccine game. We've chosen to support bungling national firms, instead of going with the big companies.
