Pfizer Canada, BioNTech get Health Canada approval for COVID variant vaccine
Pfizer Canada (PFE) and BioNTech (BNTX) announced that Health Canada has authorized the LP.8.1 variant adapted COMIRNATY COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 6 months and older. The updated COMIRNATY vaccine targets the Omicron LP.8.1 variant, one of the most recently circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages. This season's Pfizer and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine will be available in pharmacies across the country in the fall. The public program operates according to the eligibility criteria determined by each province. If an individual meets these criteria, they will be eligible to receive the vaccine for free. Efforts are ongoing in collaboration with private insurers and payers to streamline reimbursement processes within the private sector, for those who do not meet public program requirements.
