PHAC admitted the negligent spoilage of over 30 million doses of COVID vaccines.
According to the documents tabled in the House of Commons:
As of April 25, 2023, a total of 17,359,190 doses of COVID-19 vaccine expired while stored in the Federal Central.
Inventory as set out below by manufacturer:
- AstraZeneca: 4,900 doses.
- Moderna: 11,024,368 doses

An additional,13,626,000 doses of the AstraZeneca viral vector vaccine identified for donation through GAVI-COVAX expired offshore while in the manufacturer’s possession awaiting confirmation from a recipient country.
The PHAC also admitted to losing track of one vial, 6 doses, of Pfizer vaccine in July 2022 en route to a Shopper's Drug Mart in Ottawa.
