Vaccines are starting to flow into the country in greater numbers.
Major General Dany Fortin, who is coordinating the national distribution of vaccines, says Canada will receive eight-million doses by the end of March — thanks mainly to an increase in weekly Pfizer deliveries.
“Pfizer-BioNTech will be delivering doses to Canada ahead of schedule. This means starting March 22, we will now receive over 1-million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech weekly through April, so this is great news,” Fortin says.
