Canada's chief public health officer has received her first shot of COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Theresa Tam told an Ottawa news conference today she was unaware of what type of vaccine she was getting until she received an email before getting the shot.

Dr. Tam says she received a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

There are a record number of COVID-19 patients in Canada's intensive care units.

Dr. Theresa Tam, the chief public health officer, says an average of 970 people have been in ICUs over the last week.
