As COVID-19 vaccine supplies ramp up across the country, most provinces and territories have released details of who can expect to receive a shot in the coming weeks.

The military commander handling logistics for Canada's vaccine distribution program says there will be enough vaccine delivered to give a first dose before Canada Day to every adult who wants one.

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin says that's if provinces follow the advice to delay second doses up to four months.

He also cautions that it is dependent on having no production delays again.

Health Canada says up to 37 million doses of vaccine could be shipped in May and June, but only 20.3 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech and 1.04 million doses of Moderna are confirmed. The remaining 11.3 million doses of Moderna, and another four million doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca from various sources are still tentative.

Provinces initially suspended giving AstraZeneca shots to people under the age of 55 based on an advisory committee's advice, but their recommendation changed on April 23 to reflect that the shot is safe for anyone aged 30 and older.

More than 655,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine from the global vaccine sharing alliance known as COVAX, are scheduled to arrive and be distributed to provinces sometime next week, but most provinces have already said they plan to put them on ice in reserve for second doses.

Health Canada, meanwhile, approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children 12 and older on May 5.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says almost 50 per cent of eligible adults in Canada have received at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine.

He says by the summer, Canada will have enough vaccines so that every eligible resident will have gotten their first dose, and by September, it will have enough doses for everyone to be fully vaccinated.

Here's a list of the inoculation plans throughout Canada:

Newfoundland and Labrador

All people in the province aged 40 and older are now able to book an appointment for a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

---

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is stopping the use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine as a first dose.

The Health Department says the "decision is based on an abundance of caution'' due to an observed increase in the rare blood-clotting condition linked to this vaccine.

The department also says it has enough mRNA vaccine to immunize people age 40 and older, and it will reschedule anyone who was to receive AstraZeneca to instead be inoculated with Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna "in a timely manner."

People aged 40 and older can book appointments for the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines at clinics across the province.

Appointments opened May 4 for the province's first drive-thru vaccination clinic beginning May 10 at the Dartmouth General Hospital.

Prince Edward Island

People in the province aged 40 to 59 can now book appointments for a COVID-19 vaccine.

People 16 years and older who have certain underlying medical conditions, pregnant woman and eligible members of their household can also get a vaccine.

---

New Brunswick

As of May 4, access to COVID-19 vaccines was expanded to people as young as 50.

Individuals 16 and older who have two or more chronic health conditions are also eligible.

---

Quebec

People as young as 18 can now book appointments for COVID-19 vaccines.

The province's health minister says Quebecers 12 to 17 years old will be offered a first dose of COVID-19 by the end of June and will be fully vaccinated by the time they return to school in September.

The province says about 44 per cent of Quebecers have received at least one dose.

---

Ontario

Ontario expects to receive more than 254,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine next week and will be reserving them for second shots.

However, it is still determining when it will start administering those second doses.

The province announced a pause Tuesday on using AstraZeneca for first shots due to an increased risk of a rare blood-clotting syndrome linked to the vaccine.

There have been at least eight cases in Ontario of the blood clotting syndrome linked to the AstraZeneca shot out of more than 901,800 doses given in the province.

None of the Ontario cases have been fatal.

The province's top doctor says the decision to pause was made out of "an abundance of caution."

Dr. David Williams says Ontario is preparing guidance for people who already received a first dose of AstraZeneca on what to do next.

He stressed that AstraZeneca recipients made the right decision, based on the advice available at the time, to get that vaccine.

Meanwhile, Ontario has lowered the age of COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to 40 across the province.

The province also says it's developing a plan to vaccinate children aged 12 to 17 starting in June.

Manitoba

Manitoba is using the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for all people aged 18 and up. These are available through a few channels including so-called supersites in larger communities. Health officials plan to continue reducing the age minimum, bit by bit, down to age 12 by May 21 at the latest.

The province is also allowing anyone 40 and over to get an Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine through pharmacies and medical clinics, subject to availability. People 30-39 can get a shot if they have certain underlying health conditions such as chronic liver failure or severe obesity.

---

Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan residents aged 23 and older are now eligible to book their first COVID-19 vaccine appointment.

All adults in the Far North, as well as front-line workers with proof of employment, are also eligible.

Seventy-two per cent of Saskatchewan residents over the age of 40 have now received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

The province says step one of its reopening plan is to take place three weeks after 70 per cent of people aged 40 and above have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccine eligibility is open to all adults province-wide.

The province previously expanded its vaccine delivery plan for people in more vulnerable groups to include all pregnant women and 16- and 17-year-olds who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable.

Saskatchewan also dropped the age at which people can receive the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to 40 from 55.

The province says all Saskatchewan residents over 12 will be eligible for vaccination by May 20.

There are drive-thru and walk-in vaccination clinics in communities across the province. And there are plans to expand the province's pharmacy vaccination pilot rollout as more doses become available.

Alberta

Every Albertan aged 12 and older is now eligible for a vaccine.

For the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, the province lowered the minimum age to 30. They are, however, reserving the remaining supply for second doses when people are eligible. Officials say the second dose will be given 12 weeks after the first.

More than 250 pharmacies are offering immunizations. Ten physicians' clinics across the province are also providing shots as part of a pilot project.

About 15,000 workers at 136 meat-packing plants across the province can also get shots at on-site clinics, pharmacies and clinics.

Alberta has said it is extending the time between the first dose and the second to four months. But some cancer patients, transplant recipients and anyone being treated with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody such as Rituximab are able to book a second dose 21 to 28 days after their first.

British Columbia

The province says it will be holding doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to use as second doses for people who have received the vaccine.

The shift comes as B.C. announced that more than 50 per cent of the province had received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry say they're waiting on the results of studies examining the outcome of mixing doses of different COVID-19 vaccines, as B.C. looks to chart its immunization plan moving forward.

They say that no matter when a resident receives a vaccine, they will get a second dose within the 16-week wait time.

B.C. has lowered the age for those eligible to receive the AstraZeneca shot to 30, starting with those in 'hot spot' communities and adding appointments at pharmacies as supplies improve.

The Fraser Health region, where COVID-19 cases are the highest in the province, is offering all grocery workers 18 and over to get immunized with either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. It says the workers need to provide proof of their employment when they arrive for an appointment.

Nunavut

Nunavut has opened vaccinations to anyone 18 and older.

It is also offering shots to rotational workers coming from Southern Canada.

The territory had expected to finish its vaccine rollout of first and second doses by the end of April.

---

Northwest Territories

The Northwest Territories is offering vaccinations against COVID-19 to young people between 12 and 17 as of Thursday, May 6.

The territory, which has only been using the Moderna vaccine, recently exchanged some of that for doses of the Pfizer product, which Health Canada has now approved for anyone as young as 12.

A news release from the government says just over 1,100 Pfizer doses arrived in the territory from British Columbia last week.

That means the Pfizer vaccine will be available through online bookings for 12- to 17-year-olds in the capital.

It will not be offered to adults in the territory, but the Moderna vaccine is still available.

---

Yukon

Yukon's health minister says the territory will be giving youths between 12 and 17-years old a first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine before the school year ends in June.

Tracy-Anne McPhee says the territory has struck a deal with the federal government to acquire enough doses to fully vaccinate all 2,641 youths in that age range.

She says the goal is to provide a second dose by the end of July.

Chief medical officer of health Dr. Brendan Hanley says roughly 75 per cent of the territory has received their first dose of vaccine, and the territory is aiming for second dose uptake to follow a similar pattern.
