OTTAWA (WNEWS) – Canada and Pfizer have agreed on a deal that sees the pharmaceutical company provide 2 million vaccine doses each week until the end of August.

In addition, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said earlier this morning, “We’ve also negotiated an option for 3 million more Pfizer doses to be delivered in September.” He continued applauding Canadians all over the country for the immense turnout to vaccination programs, “Sixty-five percent of eligible Canadians have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That makes Canada the G20 country with the highest percentage of the population with a first shot. That is really encouraging.”

Moderna, which has yet to provide the final delivery schedule form, is under target by 6 million doses. 5.7 million doses have come from Europe and procurement Minister Anita Anand has talked about negotiating a deal to get Moderna doses from the U.S. production lines instead of Europe.

Canada expects to receive 21 million additional doses from Pfizer for the next three months, July through September. With vaccination programs ramping up and more importantly being well received currently across the country, there are also growing calls for Canada to begin donating vaccines to other countries.
