N.W.T. to get fewer doses than expected this month because of Moderna vaccine delay Amanda Parsons, a registered nurse on staff at the Northwood Care facility, prepares a dose of the Moderna vaccine in Halifax on Jan. 11, 2021. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan-Pool February 02, 2021 - 11:46 AM YELLOWKNIFE - The Northwest Territories says a delay in shipments of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to Canada means the territory will receive fewer doses than expected this month. Health Minister Julie Green says the territory was to get 7,200 Moderna doses this week, but will receive 4,700 instead. Green says the federal government has also told her a shipment expected in mid-February will also be reduced.
