* PFIZER WILL TEMPORARILY SLOW DELIVERIES OF VACCINE DUE TO PRODUCTION PROBLEMS FOR ALL COUNTRIES SUPPLIED BY ITS EUROPEAN FACTORY
* CANADA STILL WILL BE ABLE TO REACH GOAL TO OFFER VACCINATIONS TO ALL CANADIANS BY END OF SEPT
* PFIZER PRODUCTION DELAY IS DUE TO WORK EXPANDING MANUFACTURING CAPACITY AND IS TO BE EXPECTED WHEN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS ARE STRETCHED WELL BEYOND LIMITS (Reporting by Steve Scherer)
