Health Canada Approves Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

A fourth COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for use in Canada.

Health Canada has approved the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for use in Canada. 

It's the first one-shot vaccine to be approved in the country. 

This is the second vaccine to be approved by the agency as of late. 

Last Friday, the AstraZeneca vaccine was given the go-ahead. 

Canada has ordered ten million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, with the option for up to 28 million more doses. 

The majority of the shots are expected to arrive in Canada by the end of September.
