Ottawa has signed a deal with the vaccine and specialty medicine manufacturing company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to produce millions of additional influenza vaccines to better prepare for flu cases in the fall.

Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos made the announcement Friday, saying the procurement deal will ensure there are enough domestically produced influenza vaccines to meet Canada’s needs during the upcoming flu season.

Duclos said the new agreement with GSK will allow Canada to ensure there’s a consistent supply of flu vaccines produced in Canada and guard against supply chain disruptions. The new doses will be produced at GSK’s Quebec City manufacturing site, and are part of the federal government’s $1.3-billion push to rebuild Canada’s domestic vaccine manufacturing capacity.
