Canada says future deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine will come from the United States, instead of Europe, signaling that the company may now be manufacturing a sufficient supply of its vaccine for the US
Canada confirmed Friday that future deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine will come from the United States, instead of Europe, signaling that the company may now be manufacturing a sufficient supply of its vaccine for the US.
"As of May 3rd the Canadian supply of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine will come from its manufacturing site in Kalamazoo, Michigan," said Anita Anand, Canada’s minister in charge of vaccine procurement, during a news conference Friday. Despite accelerated deliveries and distribution, public health officials say it’s"too early to celebrate" and vaccines will do little to help provinces currently struggling to stem infections during a tough third wave of the pandemic.
Worrying increases in intensive care unit admissions have been a reality in many provinces this week including in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta.
