Canada absent from list of vaccine donors

September 19, 2009

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian officials are being vague about why this country is conspicuously absent from a list of developed nations donating one-tenth of their pandemic vaccine to countries that don't have access to the shots.

The nine-country initiative, announced Thursday by U.S. President Barack Obama, involves the U.S., Britain, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil and Norway.

"At this time, Canada is doing an analysis of various options to support the provision of H1N1 vaccine to developing countries," the Public Health Agency of Canada said in response to questions about why it hasn't joined the initiative.

The decision by the nine countries, some of the largest users of flu vaccine globally, was hailed by the World Health Organization as a commitment "to fairness in the sharing of a scarce resource."

The nine have said they will donate 10 per cent on an ongoing basis as vaccine becomes available.

Countries that want donated vaccine will have to assume all liability.

Re: Canada absent from list of vaccine donors

Maybe the presence of the illegal (in US) GSK adjuvant AS03 and its nefast proven neurological foetus and probably youngsters has something to do about it. Because if you do not put this adjuvant in it reduce the quantity by
4.

More and more people are pushing this issue so it becomes public and the Canadian gov back off and takes the Trail of non-adjuvant vaccines like they did after a month of pushing them for pregnant women.

It took a lot of perseverance but finally the Canadian government caved in and agree to give 1.4 million non adjuvented doses to pregnant women thus reducing 5.6 millions adjuvant doses to 1.4 million non adjuvant doses.

Now may we succeed in pushing the Canadian government to provided non adjuvented vaccines for non adults.

That is our fight in Canada and UK in the two weeks ahead.

They clearly are insecure in giving some of their vaccines because if the Truth about this sole GSK adjuvant vaccines non-authorised (in US) goes public they have to reduce their vaccines quantity by 4.
