This is part of the information:

Procuring vaccines for COVID-19 - Canada.ca - The total is actually 409 million vaccines or 10.75 per resident.

Future vaccine supply The Government of Canada is securing access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines now and into the future. Canada has secured COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna for 2022 and 2023, with options to extend into 2024.

Pfizer As part of the agreement with Pfizer:

  • Canada has secured access to a guaranteed 35 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccines for 2022, with options for up to 30 million more
  • For 2023, Canada has secured access to a guaranteed 30 million doses, with options for 30 million more
  • 2024 is an option year. If this option is exercised, Canada will have access to another 30 million doses, with options for an additional 30 million

In addition to providing booster vaccine doses, the agreement provides flexibility to procure Pfizer’s new COVID-19 vaccine adaptations, such as those to protect against mutations or variants of concern and vaccines developed for younger populations. These doses are in addition to the 51 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine arriving before the end of September 2021 as part of Canada’s existing agreement.

Moderna As part of the agreement with Moderna:

  • Canada has secured access to a guaranteed 20 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for 2022, with options for up to 15 million more
  • For 2023, Canada has secured access to a guaranteed 20 million doses, with options for up to 15 million more
  • 2024 is an option year. If this option is exercised, Canada will have access to another 35 million doses

The agreement will allow access to new COVID-19 vaccine adaptations based on the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Canada.

Vaccine-related supplies We have put in place contracts for the supplies required to administer nearly 75 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, including syringes, needles and gauze. To date, we have received enough supplies to administer more than 74 million doses.

Canada has ordered 282 million syringes of varying sizes to accommodate a range of requirements in the administration of vaccines. This includes 192 million 1 millilitre syringes of which 180.7 million are low-dead volume syringes and 10 million are ultra-low-dead volume syringes. Canada has also ordered 81 million low-dead volume needles.
