According to the Premier, the province is still waiting on more promised Moderna and Astra-Zeneca vaccines but has yet to receive a date on when it might receive them.

"Right now, pharmacies have run out [and] Shopper's Drug Mart [...] just told me they have 100,000 appointments [booked]," he continued.

"It's a joke [...] I'm done," expressed Ford. To date, the province has fully vaccinated 306,373 residents.
