A Nova Scotia laboratory working on a vaccine for COVID-19 has been given the green light from Health Canada to proceed with its plan for human trials.

IMV is a biopharmaceutical company with labs in Dartmouth, N.S. IMV started working on a vaccine for the novel coronavirus as soon as the World Health Organization declared the pandemic.

On May 21, the company selected a candidate vaccine out of a series of formulations tested on animals. The study is unique in that it will test the vaccine on two age groups -- adults between 18 and 55 years old and adults 56 years of age and older. Two doses of the vaccine will be tested on both groups.

Wooo let's get r dun!!

Damn a lot of tin foil people on this link. I wonder how many are Canadians 🤔

The Liberal Party of Canada and all politicians on all levels should be the Guinea pigs for any vaccine.

Would love to have a made in Canada vaccine

Yep let Trudeau and his family tske the first shot. Wait a year then see how it goes.

Close it indefinitely. Admit no American tourists

Go Canada, Go.

How is Gates associated with this so called vaccine

Let’s get this fast tracked. Get manufacturing ramped up. We shouldn’t be relying on vaccine supply from overseas, as the USA will buy up every ounce of supply not cemented to the Earth.

There is no vaccine for sars, h1n1 or colds as they are in the Corona family. Ask yourself what is in this concoction?

Is this the one from the China controlled who? Or the China sponsored one to test on cdns?

Jump in CTV news people 👍🏻

There’s not even a vaccine for the common cold. What bs is this ?

There are brave people out there willing to take a chance on their own health for the rest. I think it’s great. I think a vaccine will at least minimize the seriousness of the disease.

Dammm, that's quick, let's hope it's safe. However the science has been around along time. go Science.

🤞🏻

Cue the tinfoil hat brigade.

Who made the vaccine? What's in it?

Start with the Trudeau family then every member of his party...Can't wait!

I'm not anti vaccine but this is just unsafe to test on people so fast, doctors fuck up all the time.

Trudeau and Morneau first!

First mandatory masks then mandatory vaccinations

the vaccine.. from China who is signing up for this test
