Canada will not be receiving any shipments of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doses next week, which the federal government says will be the hardest hit the country gets during a month-long shortage in deliveries from the drug giant.

The news Canada will be experiencing a “temporary” delay in shipments resulting in an average weekly reduction of 50 per cent of coming doses due to the pharmaceutical company’s expansion plans at its European manufacturing facilityOn Tuesday, Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin who is leading Canada’s logistical rollout revealed that in reality, while this week’s shipment includes 82 per cent of what was originally planned, next week no new deliveries of doses will be coming to this country.

In his Rideau Cottage address on Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to reassure people about having access to considerably fewer Pfizer shots over the next few weeks, saying that “doses are coming,” and vaccinations for long-term care home residents and health-care workers continue. “I spent the weekend on the phone with Pfizer executives and my team. We reiterated firmly the importance for Canada to return to our regular delivery schedule as soon as possible. Pfizer assured us that it is employing all effort to do just that. This is an evolving situation,” she said.between now and the end of February, as part of the plan to have six million doses total from Pfizer and Moderna by the end of March when Phase 1 ends.

Where else would they be? They’ll do whatever they can to deflect any blame and avoid taking responsibility for yet another failure. JustinTrudeau is a waste, he’s hopeless as an elected official. An embarrassment to Canada and has only weakened our country.

Failure. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Total incompetence !!!!

They screwed up and our own prime minister has not even picked up the phone to advocate for dying senior citizens.

Blame Mike Harris🤭

It’s time for Canada to produce their own supply of vaccines. We cannot depend on foreign countries to keep up with our needs. There’s something to be said about being a self sufficient country.

JustinTrudeau fordnation JohnTory NDP CPC_HQ liberal_party CCCB_CECC If the COVID19 vaccine is advertised as safe, how does it cause adverse effects or compromise health? Is this why it's being delayed? transparency ethics TruthMatters

Two weeks ago it was the provincial governments fault for not vaccinating people fast enough and sitting on supply. This week when we run out and nothing coming in, nobody is to blame or held accountable.

Look out! Under the bus! Poor little thing...

.....and some media outlets will work hard to make them the scapegoat.. & Doug Ford will rub his hands with glee.

Good! and here is why

How is vaccine made and shipped from Belgium the fault of the Canadian government? If they’re stiffing us to send it to the US, how is the govt to blame?

Not too late to approach them perhaps

The question is why hasn’t Canada produced its own vaccine? Rather than turning to the thousands of leaders in the science/medical community in the country, Canada has opted for depency of Pfizer and making their billionaires richer.

That’s because Pfizer is arguing with the government over taxes!

Always on defensive as always TrudeauLies deceit and more lies. TrudeauVaccineFail TrudeauFailedCanada TrudeauLiesCanadiansDie

Canadians will die as a direct result of the liberal governments inaction.

But CTV LaFlamme doing her best to steer away from the vaccine issue and instead all the focus is on Trump. For gods sake focus on key issues for CANADIANS!

No worries. Ford has his firecrackers ready.

honestly, who is surprised at another dropped ball from the liberals... I guess all them covid vaccine eggs in the collaboration with china the liberals pushed stinks more every day.

Fire that bum.... he had one job. He can't even call the guy? Complete failure...

Canada is one of the few countries with lower shipments Could that be because we have a PM that prides himself in dress up photo ops and selfies They just don’t take him seriously same as China on prisoners and Biden on pipelines God help us cause the feds can’t

Morons all of them, announcing the suspension of Moderna a in favour of Pfizer

Why should they be in the defensive? It isn't their fault.

JustinTrudeau must be away on another taxpayer funded private island vacation. captainblackface

The incompetence and lies of the Trudeau 'Liberals' is costing Canadians their lives Being 'on the defensive' is far from being good enough

...where exactly is the vaccine coming from?

No rush for those that haven’t missed a single paycheck since the beginning of the “pandemic”

New York Times & CNN - Rushed Vaccine Warning especially under EUA - Emergency Use Authorization standards. COVID19 Coronavirus Vaccine via YouTube

This is a FAKE Pandemic! In Canada up to January 14, 2021 we had 17,538 'coronavirus REALTED deaths' - This means your chance of dying WITH - being REALTED TO - covid is 0.05%! So You have a 99.95% of NOT dying WITH the Magic Virus! What a JOKE! THERE IS NO PANDEMIC! Covid_19

Incompetence at its peak.

AnitaOakville JustinTrudeau Trudeau's voice is unbearable at this point.

AnitaOakville JustinTrudeau and why did you order more from pfizer just after you turned down moderna, which is easier to administer and you said you didn't need it?

AnitaOakville JustinTrudeau Really I can’t believe these guys. They have mismanaged this from the start.

AnitaOakville hmmm lawyer doing procurement...not working....JustinTrudeau GO figure. WE might be better off going with Patti BUTT we know she loses lots of money down the sewer

Government always manage to screw up. If this was private industry heads would had rolled.

Here we sit.. second to last....

People have been reluctant to take the vaccine until they see the results it has on others. To increase demand, Trudeau says there is a shortage. Like we saw, embarrassingly, a year ago with the toilet paper: tell everyone there is a shortage & they'll fight each other for it.

Notice how they are now saying 'end of September'

The government is always doing something to delay people getting well.

failed trudeau is failure

Why should they be on the defensive? They are doing their best. We weren’t supposed to have ANY vaccines until January so we are actually a head. What a bunch of useless hype.

Liberal scandals

DarleneDarbear Why is the audio still so bad?!!?! They've had months and months and there's still that effing buzz

TRUDEAU another fail. Selling you all snake oil.

Why he never acknowledge that he fucked up?

Are you kidding me? The US just got 10,000,000 doses. The EU got on the phone with the CEO of Pfizer and now they got their allotment. What the bell is this Libetal government doing For FFS

you tried to make a deal with China, that did not materialize, and now we are playing catch-up !

Do they take anything seriously. This is serious 🧐

Doesn’t matter now anyways, that flu bug has mutated me flown the coup.

They didn't order vaccines for chicken pox. Its a novel virus. First mass production of mRNA vaccines in the history of the world. Maybe do some actual reporting instead of TMZ takes.

How soon the sheep forget. Blackface initially signed up with China and then backed out and likely had no agreements with another supplier so he was late and behind every other county. He and his team are a total train wreck, enjoy your vote.

Pfizer said many countries will be affected by the delay but did not say which ones. Europe's shipments are expected to be cut back this week but its dose deliveries are set to return to normal next week. What’s going on with our vaccines?

Why aren’t we receiving any from the plant in the USA?

Sure not “Feds” fault..so they needn’t be defensive..

I guess no one will put Pfizer on the defensive, eh? Of course not, they're a corporation, they're always innocent.

Time to replace PM.... (long overdue...).

Cause they have control over the production and supply. 👾

What did you people expect from this overgrown blackface wearing frat boy

Anyone else wondering why Pfizer didn’t do these plant upgrades months ago?

But I thought the millitary would take care of us? I thought our generals were world class leaders?

Multiple agreements with multiple suppliers in place means NOTHING if GovCanHealth is not approving any more. Smokescreen.

Ontario has ti adjust Jan 21 target to Feb to vaccinate long term care home...all because liberal government can't keep a promise to Canada. Ridiculous and disgraceful.

Sure.... Something only Pfizer is controlling. Big Pharma only gets richer

Their incompetence and lies have cost the lives of innocent Canadians The lack of any accountability is disgusting

Take your time guys!

They're more busy working on rolling out the infrastructure for electronic vaccination passport

Feds constantly on the defensive is clear sign of failure.
