Thanks Cityslicker! So, to you it's a $$$ issue!
Holding on as well, but I would like to know where we could go and protest, as this seems to be another summer of unrest around the globe!
Based on this article, it looks like the Feds are holding things up for this company.
The WHO considers a vaccine after its been approved by the national regulatory authority, according to its guidelines. So far it's cleared seven vaccines for emergency use. But in Medicago's case, the company is still waiting for approval from Health Canada, which lists the application as under review, a spokesperson confirmed.
The Ministry of Health declined to answer CBC Toronto's question on whether it's considering an exemption for vaccine trial participants, instead deferring to Health Canada.
"The Medicago vaccine trial is a Health Canada exercise under federal jurisdiction," said spokesperson David Jensen. "Ontario is not part of this process so we cannot comment on the vaccine trial or those participating in it."
In the second link, note the companies who have drugs under review...some have been waiting for months as well!
I'd like Dr. Wong to wade in here on a webcast. Just him, no Don! Had enough of his projections for the time being.
