A month-long slowdown in CanadaB次元官网网址檚 COVID-19 vaccine deliveries should end next week, with the single biggest shipment of vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech to date.

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander overseeing CanadaB次元官网网址檚 vaccine distribution, says Pfizer has confirmed it will ship 400,000 doses to Canada starting Monday.

Deliveries of COVID-19 vaccine doses to Canada set to more than quadruple next week, and another 168,000 from Moderna.

But ModernaB次元官网网址檚 next shipment on Feb. 22 is only two-thirds of what it was supposed to be.

The company is struggling to ramp up production with its Swiss manufacturing partner Lonza.

A spokeswoman for Pfizer Canada says the upgrades to the companyB次元官网网址檚 plant in Belgium are complete and production is back on track to meet CanadaB次元官网网址檚 order for four million doses by the end of March.
