Comment Comment by abirkill Out of the three vaccines in use in both Canada and Europe, it appears that Canada entered agreements as follows: Moderna: August 5th, 2020 [1] Pfizer: August 5th, 2020 [1] AstraZeneca: September 25th, 2020 [2] Europe entered agreements as follows: Moderna: November 25th, 2020 [3] Pfizer: November 11th, 2020 [4] AstraZeneca: August 27th, 2020 [5] I couldn't immediately find data on the quantities ordered, but this doesn't seem to support the claim that Canada was slow in placing orders?[1] https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-develop...[2] https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2020/09/25/new-agreem...[3] https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_...[4] https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_...[5] https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_... parent abirkill 5 years ago
