Canada pledged at the G20 summit to donate millions more COVID-19 vaccine doses to poor countries worldwide.
Those funds should contribute to the creation of a “technology transfer center” so that the region can produce messenger RNA vaccines against COVID-19.
“We do not control production, but by 2022, we are certain that it will be possible to contribute at this level,” Freeland said. In August, the American company Moderna announced that it wanted to build a vaccine manufacturing plant in Canada, the first outside the United States. According to the Canadian government, fewer than three million of the 40 million doses already promised by Canada had been received by the COVAX program on Saturday, with additional deliveries planned in coming days.
