Procurement Minister Anita Anand says Moderna has assured her it will deliver millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine next month but still hasn't confirmed the exact amount or timing of deliveries.
Anand says she has been on the phone to Moderna repeatedly, including this morning, to push for an actual delivery schedule for June and July.
Moderna was originally supposed to ship 12.3 million doses between April and June.
Later, that figure was revised to between 10 million and 12 million doses.
However the company has only shipped 3.7 million since April 1 and has no confirmed deliveries in place now.
