Canada has placed an order for over 50 million doses from GlaxoSmithKline, their Canadian plant. The government has budgeted $2.7 million for safety and effectiveness studies.
Announcements by Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, and PHAC.

Clinical trials in September-October and vaccinations available in November. The federal government will cover 60% of the cost, and the rest will be borne by the provinces and territories.
