OTTAWA, ON – Canada has secured COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer for the next few years.

Minister of Public Services and Procurement Anita Anand announced on Friday that the country has netted a deal to acquire vaccines from the drug maker for 2022 and 2023, with options to extend into 2024.

The agreement guarantees access to 65 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine, with access to up to 120 million more if all of the options are exercised.

As well as providing booster vaccine doses, the deal provides flexibility to procure future COVID-19 vaccine formulations from Pfizer, like those to protect against variants of concerns and vaccines developed for children.

The doses are in addition to the 48 million from Pfizer arriving before the end of September 2021 as part of Canada’s existing agreement with the company.
