Thank you Coolcaesar for your edits - I'm all for exploring the complicated implications of vaccine manufacturing in Canada - it's kind of a complicated past. I worry the sources currently used are slanted toward an anti-Trudeau government bias and therefore not very neutral - perhaps we could get some other opinions. I'm pinging HueMan1, Arrecife, Moxy, UmpireRay, AMT5596, LABcrabs, Johnny Au and Oceanflynn who were on the original discussion for the creation of this page.

"Major General Fortin announced on February 18, that the period in which Canada experienced limited supplies, is now over and there will be an "abundance of supplies" in the spring and summer months. This will result in a "significant scaling-up of immunization plans in provinces." Pfizer's new "locked in" delivery schedule includes 475,000 doses in February and 444,600 per week in March, according to the PHAC's vaccine distribution tracker. A February 18, 2021 article in New York Times said that Canadians were concerned about the rollout of the vaccination program."
- In a January 14, 2021, Opinion piece in the Financial Post, responding to the delay in rolling out of Canada's vaccination program, GlaxoSmithKline Canada's Paul Lucas—who served as CEO from 1995 to 2012—said that, fifty years ago, during the Liberal premiership of Pierre Trudeau, there was little interest in chemical patents. Lucas said that this policy discouraged private investment in pharmaceutical innovations in Canada and caused the Canadian pharmaceutical industry to become focused on generic drugs.
- Health policy professor emeritus Joel Lexchin said that the publicly-owned vaccine manufacturer Connaught Laboratories was privatized under the Conservative government of prime minister Brian Mulroney (1984-1993). Connaught was then part of Sanofi Pasteur. GSK acquired the Quebec-based vaccine manufacturer IAF BioChem. Sanofi and GSK—corporations outside Canada controlled decision-making about production. The three biggest vaccine makers—GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and Sanofi—lacked the new technologies essential for the production of newer forms of vaccine, that upstarts—such as Moderna and BioNTech—had mastered and by December it was evident that they were incapable of producing an effective COVID-19 vaccine.
- According to Lexchin, newly-elected U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly continued the controversial America First policy of predecessor Donald Trump with respect to vaccine distribution. Canada was unable to obtain vaccine doses from the United States, even though the relevant American vaccine manufacturing facilities are relatively close to the Canada–United States border: Pfizer's facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan and Moderna's facility in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (actually a Lonza Group facility producing under contract).

With J&J approved a bunch of the metrics are about to get screwy because of the one shot deal, in addition, it looks like most provinces are going to start applying the four month space between shots going forward - any advice on how to roll with the punches here?

To date, none of the vaccines have obtained full approval by Health Canada. They are Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or the equivalent in Canada. Should we use the term "approval" in the article, or should we use the term "authorization" instead? -- LABcrabs ( talk) 05:21, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
@ LABcrabs Since Quebec has a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in both the private and public sector, should they be listed as having a "Partial" vaccine mandate for private industry in the table? Nsophiay ( talk) 23:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey Nsophiay could you update the map to include Northwest Territories in yellow as they will be implementing an opt-in vaccine passport? CaffeinAddict ( talk) 01:50, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

°== Vaccine mandate - not mandatory if you can be tested instead. ==
I think the vaccine mandate table is wrong. Quebec has been forcing health care workers to either be vaccinated or go through regular testing (3 times per week) for a while. However it backtracked on its plan to remove the testing option. Isn't this the same as in Ontario? From what I understand, only BC is really forcing vaccination, with 2.6% of the healthcare workforce on unpaid leave for refusing to get the shot. -- zorxd ( talk) 13:04, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
