The Prime Minister and Canada’s Health Minister are receiving their first doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

Justin Trudeau and his wife roll up their sleeves for the AstraZeneca shot early Friday afternoon in Ottawa, while Patty Hajdu receives her dose in Thunder Bay.

It’s not clear right now which dose the Thunder Bay-Superior North MP will take.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh received his first dose earlier in the week.
