Thank you, Mr. Chair and honourable members.
If we're looking at 100% coverage from a vaccine distribution perspective and that factors in a number of assumptions with respect to how we manage the inventory as it processes through the supply chain, we're looking at around 66 million doses to hit that 100% target.
Clearly, Dr. Tam has encouraged us to shoot for the stars. We are looking at encouraging Canadians to be vaccinated in the greatest measure possible so that we can not only achieve that 75% that will allow us to minimize the burdens on our hospitals and our health care systems, but also truly protect Canada and Canadians in this environment, in this pandemic, and see us through to the other side.
