Canada needs to turn its COVID\u002D19 aid attention to expanding vaccine production everywhere or the virus will continue to run wild, mutate and bring new waves…
Dr. Madhukar Pai, a Canada Research Chair in epidemiology and global health at McGill University, told the House of Commons foreign affairs committee he doesn’t think rich countries like Canada have learned a thing from the first two years of the pandemic.
At the same time, Canada and many others signed on to the COVAX vaccine-sharing alliance, the goal of which was to have wealthy countries help less well-off ones buy vaccine doses. Vaccinations in lower-income countries have picked up, with more than 79 million doses administered in 2022 to date compared with 74.5 million in all of 2021.Article content
Pai said if Canada wants to be truly selfish it would do everything it can to get more vaccines into arms everywhere around the world. Pai is one of several witnesses who told the committee the solution lies in helping make every country able to manufacture or procure their own vaccines.Article content
