THUNDER BAY – The owner of Dawson Heights Pharmacy says he expects to have a shipment of Pfizer vaccine to start handing out by late next week.
Pharmacist Vinay Kapoor hasn’t had a supply of vaccines in two weeks, after the AstraZeneca shipments were halted to Thunder Bay and instead sent to hot spot areas to help cut down soaring COVID-19 case numbers.
“We’re not sure of an exact date of availability, so just monitor the website. Once the vaccine comes into the store we’ll make those spots available, probably starting late next week or the following week,” Kapoor said.
THUNDER BAY – Demand for the AstraZeneca vaccine has far outstripped supply at Thunder Bay Pharmacies.
Pharmacist Vinay Kapoor, owner of Dawson Heights Pharmacy, on Wednesday said his store hasn’t had any available vaccines for six days and he’s not sure when they’ll receive any more.
“We ran out last Thursday just around 6 o’clock,” Kapoor said, saying they’ve been told the doses that should have come to Thunder Bay this week have been reallocated to hot spots in southern Ontario, the province attempting to douse rapid spread of COVID-19.
Ontario announced 3,480 new cases on Wednesday, including 961 in Toronto, 589 in Peel Region, 341 in Niagara and 290 in York Region.
