OTTAWA While Moderna has millions of promised COVID-19 vaccine doses outstanding and no future shipments confirmed, the federal government says it is confident that the company will meet its end of quarter commitments. In an interview on CTV’s Question Period with Evan Solomon, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said that Moderna has given “assurances” that shipments will continue to land and the company has not yet indicated it’ll be unable to keep to its end-of-June targets. To date Canada has received and distributed just over 4.5 million Moderna shots, of a total commitment by end of June for between 10.3 and 12.3 million doses. That leaves at least 5.8 million doses outstanding with just over five weeks to go before Canada Day, and no future locked-in deliveries.

OTTAWA When fully vaccinated Canadians might be able to safely resume international travel without quarantines, and whether Canada will only reopen its borders to vaccinated foreign nationals remain questions the federal government says it’s not ready to answer. According to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the federal government is still looking “very carefully” at the likely prospect of vaccine passports requiring some form of proof of vaccination to travel but his focus remains on seeing Canada come out of the still-surging third wave. “As was the case pre-pandemic, certificates of vaccination are a part of international travel to certain regions and are naturally to be expected when it comes to this pandemic and the coronavirus. How we actually roll that out in alignment with partners and allies around the world, it’s something that we re working on right now,” Trudeau told reporters on Tuesday.
