By BBN Staff: Canada has approved the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines but the country is facing challenges getting its hands on some of those doses and to get jabs into arms, the BBC reports.

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau pledged an “enormous increase” in doses of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Critics in the country have said that the President has been unable to deliver the vaccines as fast as possible.

So far, 3 out of 100 Canadians have received at least 1 dose of the vaccine.

There are over 823,000 COVID-19 cases in the country and more than 21,000 deaths.

The country has now signed deals with 7 vaccine suppliers, Moderna and Pfizer, as well as ones with pending authorization like AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson – for a total of over 400 million doses.
