Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's troubled by the slow pace of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and is vowing to raise the lacklustre vaccination numbers with premiers during a conference call later this week. "I think Canadians, including me, are frustrated to see vaccines in freezers and not in people's arms. "Our message to the federal government is, just keep these vaccines coming because we're going to be running out. Trudeau said Canada is expected to have roughly one million doses of the vaccine on hand by the end of January — enough to inoculate 500,000 people with the two-dose vaccine regime. The work to distribute the vaccine comes at one of the darkest points of the pandemic.
