Canada will donate 10 million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine to the COVAX vaccine sharing facility and donate $15 million to help make mRNA vaccines in Africa.
OTTAWA -- Canada will donate 10 million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine to the COVAX vaccine sharing facility and another $15 million to help make mRNA vaccines in Africa, the Prime Minister announced Saturday.
Securing supplies of vaccine is tricky because wealthy countries snapped up most of the early supplies. Instead, Canada is donating the remainder of doses paid for but not yet received, which means it's up to the suppliers to provide the delivery schedule. The world's wealthiest countries have vaccinated more than 70 per cent of their citizens, while the poorest have vaccinated fewer than three per cent.
