Canada is already sitting on a stockpile of 18.7 million doses and doesn\u0027t need any more to fully vaccinate eligible people over the age of 12

But Canada is already sitting on a stockpile of 18.7 million doses and doesn’t need any more to fully vaccinate eligible people over the age of 12. That includes 8.5 million doses shipped to provinces and not yet used and 10.2 million in a federal stockpile provinces can turn to if they need it.

Canadian officials are currently in talks with suppliers and other countries that need vaccines working on plans to donate Canada’s excess doses of Pfizer and Moderna. Vaccine donations are trickier than they might first sound, because of legal liabilities and vaccine dose expiration issues. Most countries won’t accept doses if the expiration date is under eight weeks, to ensure they can be used in time.Article content

Biden said the U.S. was doubling its donations to more than one billion and said “we need other high-income countries to deliver on their own ambitious vaccine donations and pledges.” He said the goal should be to vaccinate 70 per cent of the world’s population within 12 months. It noted that to date, Canada has contributed more than $2.5 billion to help address the crisis globally, including sharing vaccine doses with the rest of the world.

Africa has only fully vaccinated four per cent of the population, compared with 51 per cent in Europe and 45 per cent in North America.

Canada plans to lift ban on flights from India next week with new COVID-19 protocolsThe federal government plans to lift a months-long ban on direct flights from India early next week with enhanced COVID-19 screening protocols in place. Great we will be even more screwed then we are now people need to stay in their own countries period So that we can let more people in who are vaccinated yet can still transmit the disease! Got it! Great idea! But keep blaming unvaccinated people for not being able to get it under control This is dangerous

Poll workers say Elections Canada put them at risk of contracting COVID-19A polling station officer says she was scared of contracting COVID-19 on Monday because Elections Canada didn't require workers to be fully vaccinated or allow them to request proof of a medical exemption from maskless voters. Then why did they apply for the job? I chose to work at one of the Elections Canada offices where we started taking votes the day after the election was called. Always felt safe. I also worked at a mobile polling station at a retirement residence. Not once did I feel unsafe. Worst Job in Canada 12 plus hours with out any scheduled breaks for Lunch or coffee. Not worth the $17 an hour. No wonder they have trouble finding workers. Talk to Trudeau about that
