If the vaccine passes approval, Canada has an advance-purchase agreement for 20 million doses. “The doses for Canada — we expect to receive four million doses between January and March of the Pfizer vaccine, two million for Moderna — of which we anticipate that we (in Ontario) will receive 1.6 million of Pfizer and 800,000 of Moderna,” Elliott said. “Getting excited about six million doses sounds great,” he said. The company expects to produce as many as 50 million doses in 2020 and as many as 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021. “There are significant issues with respect to the Pfizer vaccine in particular,” she noted, referring to the temperature at which it must be stored.
