Another sizeable shipment of COVID-19 vaccines is slated to arrive in Canada starting in about 7 days.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday, March 12, that about 1-million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine will arrive per week from March 22 to May 10.
That stock is in addition to the other vaccines on order for Canada. Trudeau says the Pfizer stock will make a “big difference” as the country continues its vaccination rollout plan.
Pfizer’s vaccine is just one of four that has received Health Canada’s approval.
About 850,000 doses of Moderna’s vaccine are also anticipated to arrive on the week of March 22.
