CBC: Canada won't receive any Pfizer shots next week — here's what you need to know about the vaccination campaign:
(1) Deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine will drop by 50 per cent over the next four weeks, delaying some appointments cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli

(2) Pfizer isn't treating every customer the same way. While Canada will receive zero doses next week, the company said it "will be back to the original schedule of deliveries to the European Union beginning the week of January 25."
(3) When asked why Pfizer will not make the same commitment to Canada, federal Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand said that she expects the company to treat all countries equitably — but could not say why Canada has been singled out.
(4) Pfizer did not respond to specific questions about why it is showing more favourable treatment to the EU. In an emailed statement, the company said the details of its agreements with governments are "confidential."
(5) Delays mean many people will be kept waiting much longer for shots than they anticipated. While deliveries might return to a more normal flow, it will be hard for provinces to pump through hundreds of thousands of patients in a short time frame to reach vaccination targets.
