Health Canada has formally approved Moderna's updated COVID-19 vaccine targeting the Omicron variant.
It has been approved for use in adults 18 and older.
In a decision summary made public Thursday, Health Canada said the new bivalent vaccine induced "significantly higher responses" to the Omicron BA.1 virus in comparison to Moderna's original coronavirus vaccine, officially branded as Spikevax.
While the updated vaccine was developed to target the Omicron BA.1 variant, Health Canada says clinical trials suggest the new vaccine still elicits a "stronger immune response" against more recent mutations of Omicron — BA.4 and BA.5 — which are now dominant.

Sounds like we have 12 million doses, which i suspect will be enough to immunize pretty much anyone who wants it and qualifies.
