I checked the CBC article again, and it says 3900 doses for just under two thousand people.

Aw. OK .. my assumption was wrong



I'm sure once they get steady supply they will do it differently

Manitoba is supposed to receive 75,000 doses instead of 66,000 because of our high Aboriginal popuation.

Once the frontrunner,  AstraZeneca has had problems in trials.



British vaccine needs more work



LONDON — AstraZeneca and Oxford University have more work to do to confirm whether their vaccine can be 90% effective, a peer-reviewed paper in The Lancet showed Tuesday, potentially slowing its rollout in the fight against the pandemic.



Once seen as the frontrunner in the development of a vaccine against the coronavirus crisis, the British team was overtaken by U.S. drugmaker Pfizer, whose shots — with a success rate of around 95% — were administered to U.K. seniors Tuesday.



Detailed results from the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine trials have been eagerly awaited after some scientists criticized a lack of clarity in an initial announcement last month.



But The Lancet gave few extra clues as to why efficacy was 62% for trial participants given two full doses, but 90% for a smaller subgroup given a half, then a full dose.



"(This) will require further research as more data becomes available from the trial," the researchers said.



John Moore, virologist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said the team's Lancet paper was "a hodgepodge of factoids and is hard to digest."

Pfizer is officially approved by Health Canada today



We are now officially in the start of our virus eradication





WOW - In modifying the title to update I noticed that I had started this ongoing thread January 26th, 2020 .. right around the time Canada got its first case with the conclusion "[Note: It's still very early on and could somehow get contained OR it could become an Extraordinary MAJOR threat to the world]"

We are not getting almost one third of the initial doses.

I believe the country only gets 240,00 of the initial run to be distributed proportionately. Something doesn't sound right in that

I don't know what numbers Thiel is talking about, but as cc wrote, we are only getting 249,000 doses nationally in the first round.

Alberta had 1460 new infections today and thirteen deaths..



Today is the first day in a while we had fewer new cases than Ontario or Quebec..



The first Albertans will receive the Pfizer vaccine next Wednesday..



Over 3900 Albertans will receive the vaccine and we'll have more doses before the second injection is required one month later.
