Ontario pushes back long-term care vaccination deadline 1:45 pm Due to production and shipping delays with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the province is pushing back the date to have first shots administered to all long-term care, high-risk retirement and First Nations elder care residents Premier Doug Ford announced today that the new target date is February 10, rather than February 5. The province says production delays in Europe means Ontario is receiving 80 per cent less doses of Pfizer and 20 per cent less of Moderna shots over the past couple weeks. The government expects the supply to return to normal by mid-month. “The province is expecting approximately 310,000 doses to be delivered in the remaining weeks of February,” the government said in a statement. “Once sufficient doses are available, vaccinations will resume to provide first doses for staff and essential caregivers in settings with the most vulnerable populations.”
