OTTAWA, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Health Canada on Wednesday approved the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) PFE.N and BioNTech SE 22UAy.DE , clearing the way for shots to be delivered and administered across the country.
The nation's first coronavirus vaccine green light comes under a new interim order system that allows for accelerated approval very similar to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's emergency use authorizations.
