A personal support worker in Toronto is the first person to get the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada.
Anita Quidangen received a shot of the Pfizer vaccine at the University Health Network.
Health Minister Patty Hajdu calls it really good news for everyone across the country but has a caution.
“We also have to keep protecting each other and one worry I would like to share…Is that Canadians think this is just around the corner that COVID-19 is over…this is going to help,”
The health minister adds we have to protect our family and community as we wait for our turn at getting the vaccine.
