Canada COVID-19 Employer Resources
According to the Canadian government’s COVID-19 website, “Everyone who lives in Canada will have access to a safe, effective, and free COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Vaccination has started and will be expanded to the entire population throughout 2021 as vaccine supply increases. Doses for the whole population will arrive at different times. A phased approach to vaccine delivery will begin with the arrival of limited doses, which will be prioritized for high-risk people.
