The announcement came a day after the country recorded 2,788 new cases in a 24-hour period.
“Yesterday Canada had the highest ever number of new cases of COVID-19. We have to get these numbers down – this is serious and everybody must do their part,” Trudeau said in a news conference. Last month Canada agreed to buy up to 20 million doses of the vaccine candidate produced by AstraZeneca and Oxford University. That is one of several deals Ottawa has signed to secure around 300 million potential shots.
Canada has agreements with Pfizer, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Moderna, Novavax and Johnson & Johnson for their vaccine candidates. On Friday, the government also said it would invest up to $18.2 million in Vancouver-based biotechnology company Precision NanoSystems Inc to support a project for pre-clinical and clinical trials for a vaccine.
is that a joke? canada can make vaccine?
What’s the point we’ll be buying from the US anyways. Might want to look where this money 💴 s going.
How did that SARS vaccine work out? Oh yeah, it didn't.
Not taking it. End of story
It's ridiculous we wait for the USA to do something before we do it. We should have done this the second we realized we were dependant on the country that released the virus for vaccines and medical supplies
Why?
We are so late to this we should probably direct the money towards a COVID-20 vaccine
And how many billions have been spent on dictators in Iran?
Let me guess, 'canadian made' means made in china.......
Little late in the game. But better late than never.
