Nova Scotia will receive its first allotment of 1,950 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine next week and will begin with immunizing health-care workers most dir...ectly involved in the COVID-19 response in Central Zone, as soon as the vaccine is approved by Health Canada. Health-care workers to be immunized first include those working in COVID-19 care units, Regional Care Units and intensive care units that care for COVID-19 patients. The focus for December is Central Zone, as the Pfizer vaccine cannot be moved around the province given its strict storage, handling and transportation requirements. The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at -70 C. Doses of the Moderna vaccine are also expected to begin arriving this month. They must be stored at -20 C, which is like many other vaccines The province is expected to receive a total of 150,000 doses in small, weekly allotments beginning the week of Dec. 15 and into the first three months of 2021. The vaccine is administered in two doses. Like most other provinces, Nova Scotia is following the National Advisory Committee on Immunizations (NACI) guidance on COVID-19 vaccine. During the first three months of 2021, the focus will be to immunize: -- long-term care residents and staff -- seniors who live in the community beginning with those who are over 80 years of age, then people over 75 and then people over 70. -- health-care workers directly involved in patient care -- La Nouvelle-Écosse recevra son premier lot de 1950 doses du vaccin contre la COVID-19 de Pfizer la semaine prochaine. Les premières personnes à recevoir le vaccin, dès qu'il sera approuvé par Santé Canada, seront les travailleurs de la santé qui offrent directement des soins liés à la COVID-19 dans le secteur du centre. Les travailleurs de la santé qui recevront le vaccin en priorité incluent ceux qui travaillent dans les unités de soins de la COVID-19, les unités régionales de soins et les unités de soins intensifs qui soignent les patients atteints de la COVID-19. En décembre les efforts seront initialement concentrés dans le secteur du centre en raison des exigences rigoureuses d'entreposage, de manutention et de transport du vaccin de Pfizer. Il doit être entreposé à -70 degrés Celsius. On prévoit également recevoir des doses du vaccin de Moderna ce mois-ci. Ce vaccin doit être entreposé à -20 degrés Celsius, comme de nombreux autres vaccins. Le gouvernement provincial prévoit recevoir un petit lot de vaccins chaque semaine à compter de la semaine du 15 décembre et pendant les trois premiers mois de 2021, pour un total de 150 000 doses. Le vaccin est administré en deux doses. Comme la plupart des autres provinces, la Nouvelle-Écosse suivra les conseils du Comité consultatif national de l'immunisation (CCNI) concernant le vaccin contre la COVID-19. Au cours des trois premiers mois de l'année 2021, le vaccin sera offert aux personnes suivantes : -- Résidents et personnel des établissements de soins de longue durée -- Personnes âgées qui vivent dans la collectivité, en débutant par les personnes de plus de 80 ans, puis les personnes de plus de 75 ans, et enfin les personnes de plus de 70 ans -- Travailleurs de la santé qui offrent directement des soins aux patients
