Canada’s’Population 5x’ Vaccination is Slow

Prime Minister Trudeau is being criticized for not providing the vaccine quickly. He initially promised that by the end of September this year, he would secure a quantity of vaccines that can be vaccinated for the entire population. According to schedule, Canada should receive 6 million doses by March.

–

Canada, which started vaccination from December 14th, has received a little over 1.18 million doses so far. The vaccination rate is slow compared to other countries that started vaccination at the same time.

–

According to Bloomberg News, Canada ranks 40th in the number of vaccinations per 100 people.

–

During a period of 3 per 100 Canadians receiving at least one vaccination, 14 per 100 in the United States and 21 per 100 in the UK received at least one vaccination.

Canada has been criticized by the international community for securing more than five times the inoculum of its population.

–

Canada has signed contracts with seven vaccine suppliers, including Modena and Pfizer vaccines, as well as AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, which have not yet been approved for use, and secured 400 million doses.

–

However, in the case of Modena and Pfizer vaccines, which were first approved for use, it was found that the actual supply was disrupted.

–

Canada lacks the capacity to produce vaccines itself. As former US President Donald Trump, fearing that the US would impose an export ban, the Canadian government decided to invest in vaccines produced at European factories.

–

However, as manufacturers in Europe are unable to meet the supply, the response to Corona 19 is in an emergency. In recent weeks, shortages of Modena and Pfizer vaccines have made delivery delays or orders cancelled.

Government approval rating decline

Canadians, who had to endure strict containment orders in winter, appear to be complaining about the slow vaccination.

Abacus Data, a company specializing in public opinion polls, evaluated on the 5th that “delayed vaccination will likely hurt progressive forces.”

–

“The government approval rating, the prime minister’s image, and the votes have all been hit in the last few weeks. There has also been a sharp rise in negative perceptions that the government is not responding well in vaccine supply.”

–

As the federal government’s response is delayed, local government complaints are also growing, with Alberta proposing to seek its own vaccine supply.

Accordingly, the Canadian government announced that it would use COVAX, an international vaccine cooperation program, to speed up the spread of the vaccine.

–

As the original purpose of COVAX was to provide vaccines to poor countries at low cost by international organizations and rich countries, Canada, a developed country with financial reserves, was criticized for inadequate securing of vaccines through COVAX. Got up.

Canada is the only G7 country to announce that it will secure its own vaccine through COVAX.
