COVID-19 Vaccination in Canada

Immunization Program

COVID-19 vaccination in Canada is an intergovernmental effort, described as the largest immunization campaign in the country's history, coordinated between the Government of Canada, which acquires and distributes vaccines, and the provincial and territorial governments, which administer them. Vaccination began on December 14, 2020, with Health Canada handling approval and regulation and the Public Health Agency of Canada coordinating distribution and public health response, using the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax vaccines. As recorded in the article, more than 32.6 million people, 85.41 percent of the population, had received at least one dose, more than 31.3 million were fully vaccinated, and more than 19.2 million had received a booster dose.

Entity-backed identity for the program-kind enum value this public health program already carries, resolved to a health practice by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The program-kind fact itself stays on the program unchanged.
