Pfizer’s delivery schedule to Canada until the end on June has been updated. Since it’s Belgium plant shutdown to boost production earlier this year Pfizer has been delivering like clockwork. It ramps up big time in May.

For comparison here’s the Moderna scheduled. No clarity beyond next week’s reduced shipment (down 550k doses). There was a promise of 3-million doses in May. But production challenges make that extremely uncertain if not unlikely at this point.

At this point, There is no delivery schedule for AstraZeneca to Canada from any source (India serum institute/covax/AZ contract)

Johnson & Johnson is supposed to deliver 300,000 doses of its single shot vaccine before the end of April. But delivery dates haven’t been shared.

Novavax is still in the approval stages at this point.

So, taken together, Pfizer is the reliable workhorse of Canada’s vaccination efforts.

It’s Supplemented by sporadic shipments from the other vaccines approved in Canada. But those other shipments are a roller coaster.

It will be an interesting question as to whether the premiers will insist on the 300k J&J doses be shared on a per capita basis or whether they might agree to send it to hot spots. Ontario would get ~120k of the J&J shipment if per capita holds. Would be a big help for GTA.

This is what else is expected before the end of June:

* ~10-12 million Moderna (company warns 1-2 million being pushed from spring to summer so its imprecise)
* 4.3-million AstraZeneca (from all sources)
* an unspecified amount of J&J

But there’s no dates for any of this.
