As Canadian officials forecast a rapid increase in new COVID-19 vaccines, new data shows that the current federal supply may not be enough to keep up with provincial vaccinations.

vaccine doses, current vaccination data analyzed by Global News suggests that federal vaccine deliveries are falling short of provincial administration rates — with some very close to doling out nearly all of the vaccines delivered to them so far.

Provincial vaccine utilization rates, also known as the percentage of vaccines administered out of all deliveries, appear to accelerate significantly after new vaccines are delivered and provinces are able to draw on new inventory, according to data compiled bySome provinces, however, appear to start off every week with increasingly high daily dose numbers but taper off immediately as utilization rates there increase and available doses dwindle, suggesting that federal deliveries aren’t enough...

Provinces like Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec, B.C., New Brunswick and Ontario are close to or have already surpassed 90 per cent of their utilization rates — meaning that they may soon run out of vaccines to administer.Story continues below advertisement This week, for example, saw Canada receive only half of its promised 1.3 million doses from Moderna, which provinces blamed for cancelled vaccine appointments.The Public Health Agency of Canada did not immediately respond to Global News’ request for comment, but made comments earlier assuring Canadians that millions of vaccine doses were still on schedule for delivery in the coming weeks.

In a press conference Thursday, Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the officer overseeing vaccine distribution for PHAC, said that Canada was set to receive more than two million vaccine doses from Pfizer next week.Another one million doses of Moderna were also set to arrive and be distributed across the country to in the next two weeks, while J&J’s first delivery from Thursday would be distributed next week once thawed.

Oh and to go with the shut up. STOP FUCKING LYING. That's all

Oh shut up

Are you talking about Canada? Because data shows that the provinces as of today have not used all their vaccines and never have.

Stop with this false narrative, thousands of appointments are still unfilled today, this weekend and all of May in Qc despite the fact that all with chronic conditions, disabilities, their parents, caregivers, p women can get shots as of last week, this week and 50yr old+ today

Too little too late. Entire family now exposed to a confirmed case because public health wouldn’t test us. Eligible for vaccines but wait listed for weeks. Reports to public health & bylaw about employer not following guidelines completely ignored. Now we sit quarantined, sick.

Canada is simply super behind! We blame Justin Trudeau!

Thats not what the data shows

Right. 🙄

I am a little concerned about our lack of AZ and the potential impact to people who need it for their 2nd dose (me included). It feels like we have lots of PZ on the way, which is awesome, and may help pull ahead people’s 2nd doses once everyone gets their first.

Stop lying

For about two months now I've been reading about these millions and millions of doses coming in the future.

WHAT? STOP 🛑 this fear rhetoric FactsMatter facts

I have my two appointments booked and my kids can book in four weeks. Ontario for one has never used up its complete supply. It bases administration of doses based on supply. Aren’t there more accurate Covid related things to report?

Contradicting headline.

No, they are not. Moderna will be added to the supply tomorrow. Ontario will carry 100's of thousands of idle doses into next week, when they will receive 700k more. Then, 1.1M the next week. Highest 7d avg is 114k, or ~800k wk. ON will get that in Pfizer, alone, in May. 1/
