Health Canada's updated vaccine delivery website says Canada will get more than 2.5 times the number of doses of Pfizer-BioNTech in the next eight weeks, than were delivered in the last 14 weeks.
The site, updated today, confirms more than 8.5 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine are to be shipped to Canada between March 22 and May 16.
That includes almost 1.2 million doses in each of the next two weeks, and just over one million doses a week, for the next six weeks after that.
Moderna has not confirmed shipments past the end of March, and there is no date yet for the first shipments expected directly from AstraZeneca or Johnson and Johnson.
The Serum Institute of India is to ship another million doses of its AstraZeneca vaccine in April, and 500,000 in May, but there is not a specific date yet for when those will arrive.
Canada is also now supposed to get 1.6 million of AstraZeneca produced in South Korea before the end of May, but there isn't a more specific timeline available yet for those either.
