Ontario’s Vaccination Rollout Plan Facing Delays Amid Shortage of Pfizer Vaccines
Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout plan will slow down due to the announcement by Pfizer-BioNTech last week that it is temporarily delaying international shipments of the vaccines due to upgrading of its production facilities in Europe, Premier Doug Ford said on Jan. 19.
“The news from the federal government today that Canada won’t get any new Pfizer vaccines next week, and far fewer than expected in the coming weeks, it’s troubling. It’s a massive concern,” Ford said at a press conference.
“My message to the federal government is that nothing else matters right now. Every day we’re giving up less vaccines than we have the capacity to administer is a day we lose.”
