Canada's vaccination supply is about to get another shot in the arm.

The federal government has confirmed that seven million doses will arrive into the country by the end of June.

The doses are expected to start arriving next week.

For the first time, the shipment will include doses from Moderna's supply chain in the U.S.

Earlier this week, the company filed for authorization from Health Canada to administer doses to people 12 and older.

Currently, only Pfizer is approved for use on Canadians under 18 years old.
