Canada will receive no Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines next week as supply problems bite

Pfizer Inc told Canada on Tuesday it will receive no coronavirus vaccines the week of Jan 25 and supplies will be cut back sharply over the next three weeks, a senior Canadian official said.

Major-General Deny Fortin, who is helping organise the inoculation campaign, made the announcement during a briefing. Pfizer has already said it will slow production in late January and early February due to changes in manufacturing processes.
