Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday there will be third and fourth booster doses available in this country if or when they're needed. Contracts signed last year provide for delivery of up to 65 million doses from Pfizer and 35 million from Moderna this year, followed by 60 million from Pfizer and 35 million from Moderna in each of the next two years. Several provinces are already offering those fourth doses, including Ontario where fourth dose campaigns in long-term care and retirement homes are underway. Canada has donated about 12.7 million doses, and administered almost 72 million. It hasn't made a new donation since Dec. 21, but since that time 5.2 million booster shots were given in Canada.
