Any particular reason for that?

To allow for more first doses... trudope didn’t do a very good job. The states have vaccinated 4 times our total population so go figure
Silence intelligence so stupid isn’t offended….

Horrible job of procurement. Feds look after procurement, provinces look after delivering jabs. Feds are catching flack from the provinces over lack of vaccines.
There was no commitment for Canadian production of the vaccine within the procurement contracts. One small lab in Quebec was partnered with a Chinese firm to develop and produce vaccines. After several months, that deal evaporated.
They have already taken their share of the 3rd World sharing commitment where 1st world countries set aside a portion of their procurement to poor developing countries. Canada has had to keep it's full share and been unable to fulfill their agreement to developing countries.
Laughably yesterday the Federal minister of Health sent out a series of very smug tweets highlighting the number of doses administered by each province and the much higher number of doses sent out to each province by the Feds. Trudeau even went on to offer the provinces federal manpower to administer vaccines
Ontario pointed out that last Thursday they were on the verge of running out but received a large shipment over the long Easter weekend and that all of those doses already have committed appointments.
Also, large portion of the Fed procurement is Astra-Senecca doses that they received when the US abandoned that vaccine. BC is only giving it to the 55-65 age group.
Canada implemented a mandatory 3 day hotel isolation for all people entering Canada by air. Reason was to stop variants at the border. It was 3 weeks after the announcement that the rules took effect. By then the variants were already here.There was little or no policing of the regulation and people could simply walk out of the airport and not comply. It was not applicable to the land border crossing. People could fly into a US city near the border and have a taxi take them to the border and walk through a crossing.
To discourage Spring Break travel, he shut air routes to Central America and the Caribbean, but that didn't effect Florida or Hawaii.
Posturing announcements of either impossible or poorly implemented plans.

^ Sounds like a right royal clusterfuck up there after doing a pretty good job at containing it last year. Thanks for the expanded explanation.
I guess lack of production in Canada is a big part of the problem?

The J&J vaccine should be the one sent to developing countries as one-and-done works better in rural areas where people are travelling on foot and there is limited infrastructure to track vaccinations or contact people for second doses.
After we all get vaccinated of course.

The flack that the Astro-Zeneca/Covishield vaccine is taking is laughable. It's corporate driven fear mongering through the mainstream media because it is the only vaccine created by a "not for profit" organization.
The UK data showed that you have between a 0.0001 and 0.08 percent chance of developing vaccine induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (a blood clot) from the vaccine. So it gets pulled.
But left on the shelf to be given out is birth control which has a 0.3 to 1.0 percent risk of causing a blood clot in a healthy non-smoking female.
My numbers are 10 days old and there were no Canadian reported VIPIT cases at the time.
This country of ours is hilarious.

He will probably get re-elected no matter how much he screws up everything he and his government are involved in. Too many hipsters in southern Ontario will vote for him no matter what. They are a product of the educational system that teaches them what to think instead of how to think.

The wearing of masks is a farce which only gives folks a false sense of security.
In public, I wear a mask, sure, but behind that mask I wear a grin, it's a clown show folks...
Why are these scientific studies never picked up by the media?The physical properties of medical and non-medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales [16], [17], [25]. According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask
