At least 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine will arrive per week from March 22 to May 10.

That's seven weeks, which means a total of 7 million doses from that manufacturer are coming into Canada during that time and Trudeau said it will "make a big difference."

The new delivery schedule has been shared with the provinces and territories so they can plan for mass vaccinations and getting doses to people.
