The federal government has begun procuring the supplies that will be essential for “mass vaccinations†in the event that a vaccine is found for COVID-19, starting with signing a contract for 37 million syringes.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first announced that the government was adding syringes on to the list of essential COVID-19 supplies that are being procured, and later Procurement Minister Anita Anand said that the contract has been signed with Becton Dickinson Canada, the Canadian arm of American medical technology firm BD, to supply the essential tool in delivering vaccines.
