Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading Canada’s vaccine logistics, said today that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will significantly ramp up its deliveries of doses next month.
Fortin said 444,000 Pfizer doses will be delivered each week for the first two weeks of March.
While those delivery figures are significantly higher than the amounts Canada has been receiving in recent weeks — only 70,000 Pfizer doses were delivered this week, for example — they raise questions about the government’s ability to hit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promised target of six million doses delivered by the end of March.
