Published Monday, April 26, 2021 9:58AM EDT Select Ontario pharmacies could soon begin administering the Pfizer vaccine amid delivery delays that are likely to result in the supply of AstraZeneca running dry within days. The Ford government has said that two shipments of AstraZeneca with nearly 600,000 doses may be delayed until the end of May, a snag that could affect the administration of vaccines at more than 1,400 pharmacies. In an interview with CTV News Channel over the weekend, Ontario Pharmacists Association CEO Justin Bates said that talks have been underway with the Ontario government about allowing pharmacies to administer the Pfizer vaccine and it now seems likely that a pilot project could be launched as soon as this week “with a limited number of pharmacies.”
