Justin Trudeau’s government sought to assure the public it’s trying to speed up delivery of Covid-19 vaccines amid pressure from health authorities who say they’re running low on shots.
Canada has ordered more doses per capita than any other country -- reserving at least 214 million shots for 38 million people -- and was the second country after the U.K. to approve the vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE. It has also authorized Moderna Inc.’s shot.
