Canada has received the first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines from the global vaccine-sharing initiative known as COVAX, federal officials announced Thursday.
Speaking to reporters at a technical briefing in Ottawa, Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading Canada’s national vaccine distribution effort, said Canadian authorities received about 317,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine procured through COVAX Facility.
Canada expects to receive approximately 1.6 million additional doses through COVAX by the end of June.
Canada has contributed $440 million to the COVAX Facility. Half of that money was to fund vaccine purchases for low- and middle-income countries, while the other half was supposed to help Canada procure vaccines for domestic use in addition to vaccines Canada was going to get through bilateral deals with vaccine producers.
