OTTAWA Canada’s vaccine deliveries are getting bigger almost every week but there won’t be enough doses shipped to provinces and territories to “ramp up” the vaccination program for another few months, Maj. Gen. Dany Fortin outlined on Thursday.
Fortin said deliveries of vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna will hit one million doses per week starting in April.
The confirmation aligns with plans made public Thursday by the Ontario government that it won’t be able to expand its vaccine program beyond the first four priority groups until April.

It would not be wrong to describe the global COVID-19 pandemic as a war.
Death, destruction of the social and economic fabric of society, along with the fear and dread that comes with a mortal threat. Those who have been through actual military conflict may beg to differ, but for most of the rest of us, this is war.
It begs an important question: why aren t we using a wartime mindset to guide our response?
There has been an undeniable lack of urgency in many aspects that seems out of step with the scope and nature of the threat posed by COVID-19.
