This is huge! For a possible COVID-19 vaccine, Canada has now secured more than 100 million guaranteed doses.

Canada has signed yet another deal to get even more doses of a possible vaccine for the virus.

"When a vaccine is ready, Canada will be ready also," said Anita Anand, Minister of Public Services and Procurement.
