TORONTO On the heels of his Wednesday announcement regarding the federal government’s support for a new influenza vaccine manufacturing facility in Toronto, Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says he has plans to further improve the country’s domestic biomanufacturing capacity.
The federal government will spend $415 million, in partnership with Sanofi Pasteur Ltd. and the Ontario government, to build the vaccine facility by 2027. According to Champagne, the Toronto facility will be able to produce 76 million vaccine doses for influenza within six months of the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic, which will be enough to vaccinate the Canadian population and export any extra doses to other countries.
