A month-long slowdown in Canada's COVID-19 vaccine deliveries will finally be over.
In a virtual roundtable with nurses and doctors from around Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged that the rollout of vaccines across the country has been lagging.
But federal officials now say the pace will pick up starting next week.
Trudeau says things are about to get better in the fight against the coronavirus, with Canada approaching something he called "the big lift" with millions of vaccines about to reach our shores.
Pfizer will ship 400,000 doses to Canada starting Monday
The single biggest shipment of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech is expected to arrive next week.
Major-General Dany Fortin says Pfizer will ship 400,000 doses starting Monday, with almost 1.8 million doses arriving in the country over the next four weeks.
Deputy Chief Public Health Officer Doctor Howard Njoo (NOO') says more than one-million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered so far.
