WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s still counting on the United States to share some of its COVID-19 vaccine surplus with Canada.
Trudeau says the federal government is in close contact with the U.S. about procuring more doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
But just how many of an estimated 60 million doses might end up in Canada remains an open question — especially given a fresh wave of infections in India.
The White House says it will share some of the stockpile with India once the doses — 10 million in the coming weeks, 50 million more by the end of June — are cleared for export.
