Initially the plan is to move the doses as little as possible because of their complicated storage requirements: Dr. Theresa Tam

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised that the first COVID-19 vaccines will be administered next week.

But health officials say the first doses will be highly localized to 14 sites where the vaccines are initially being delivered.

Doctor Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, says initially the plan is to move the doses as little as possible because of their complicated storage requirements.

Canadian officials are also assuring they don't expect disruptions in the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines as a result of actions taken by US President Donald Trump.

Trump is expected to sign an executive order to ensure U-S citizens are first in line for vaccine doses made in the United States.
