Canadian government throws away millions more COVID vaccines due to lack of demand
“The number of expired Moderna shots has now risen to 7.7 million and the government has also now disposed of 3.1 million doses of the Novavax vaccine. About 7,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine has been thrown away.
Canada’s vaccine uptake has been relatively high with 80 per cent of Canadians getting their first two doses, but there has been a much weaker uptake for subsequent booster shots.
Just 50 per cent of Canadians have received a third-dose booster and just 14.3 per cent have received a fourth dose, despite public health officials’ recommendations.”
