The federal government says it expects Canada to receive around 1.9 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine this week, including its very first shipment of shots from Johnson & Johnson.
The government says the country will receive about 300,000 of the single-dose jabs in the coming days, in addition to more than 1 million Pfizer-BioNTech shots and around 650,000 doses from Moderna.
But Canada is not currently expecting any more deliveries of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
Those doses have been in heavy demand after the eligible age for the shot was dropped to 40-plus in several provinces.
