Pharmacies across Canada underutilized; less than half included in vaccine rollout News provided by Share this article Share this article OTTAWA, ON, April 15, 2021 /CNW/ - As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to surge across the country, Canada's vaccine strategy has never been more important; but thousands of pharmacies across the country are still waiting to get involved. And while most provinces have started to roll out vaccines to pharmacies, access remains limited in many regions, with many pharmacies still not receiving access to all approved vaccine types. With 11,000 locations across the country, leveraging Canada's vast pharmacy network means bringing vaccines closer to Canadians and making them accessible to more communities. Pharmacies are a presence in every community, yet they continue to be selectively utilized in most regions.
