Canada’s Largest Shipment of Pfizer & Moderna COVID Shots This Week

How Many Doses Are Pfizer & Moderna Shipping To Canada?

Reports say that Pfizer-BioNTech will be supplying about 475,000 doses of their COVID-19 shots this week. From the following week onwards, the shipment will reportedly be scaled back to 445,000 shots per week as they look to complete their order of delivering 4 million doses by the end of March.

Massachusetts-based Moderna Inc is expected to send about 168,000 shots Canada’s way this week. The company is known to deliver its doses every third week, most of which are then sent off to the northern and remote locations in Canada.

Canada’s COVID Inoculation Drive

As Canada moved past the shipment shortage and received a regular supply over the past two weeks, many regions in the country managed to progress beyond the first priority groups and offer the shots to more people. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also stressed on the influx of vaccine doses in an address last Friday, February 19 .

Meanwhile, Health Canada’s chief medical adviser Supriya Sharma said on Monday that with new coronavirus variants spreading across the country, the rate of vaccination required to achieve herd immunity will “have to be higher”.

Canada is said to have logged approximately 700 COVID-19 cases with “variants of concern”, predominately the UK variant.
