Vaccine Rollout Update We’re working on all fronts to secure access to free, safe, and effective vaccines for Canadians and their families. As of last week, ...we’ve delivered almost a million doses total to the provinces and territories for them to administer to Canadians. Although shipments of the Pfizer vaccine will be stalled for the next four weeks, this delay is temporary, and the total number of doses we will be receiving remains the same. And our goal to immunize all Canadians who want a vaccine by September has not changed. As more Canadians receive a vaccine against COVID-19, our government will continue doing whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to keep you safe and healthy.
