In about 2 months I suspect the US is going to flooding Canada/Mexico with vaccine doses.

  I agree, as at that point it will be in their self-interest to do so. So yes, we wouldn't be completely SOL, just in rougher shape than we are. I certainly understand the desire to keep doses within the country. I don't even necessarily blame the administration for doing so. But I do appreciate the EU giving us the opportunity to vaccinate our seniors prior to 18 year olds in the US.

    Currently 25% of the US population has one dose of the vaccine. That is way beyond Canada and most other countries, but the US is far from vaccinating 18 year olds.

      That's true. I don't expect them to allow Pfizer to export vaccine until they have though.

  Canada will, with luck, already be half done with the first dose in two months. But yes, there's likely to be a surfeit in the entire developed world by July or so. The domestically manufactured Canadian vaccine for example, if approved, will likely end up primarily exported.
