PM Trudeau says, pace of vaccination in Canada is "accelerating significantly"

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the pace of vaccination in Canada is "accelerating significantly."

Trudeau told an Ottawa news conference the government is working tirelessly every day to acquire and distribute more doses.

Trudeau says half-a-million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine were delivered last week and are being distributed to provinces.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there's still no firm date for when Johnson & Johnson will send its COVID-19 vaccine to Canada.

Health Canada approved the vaccine for use last week but the company has reported production delays could threaten delivery dates in the European Union.

Trudeau says he is aware of those issues and as soon as Canada's dates are confirmed, the government will share that information.
