I know that next Monday, you will be hearing from experts on regulations. I am not an expert in that area, but I can, however, provide some clarification.
For this vaccine, as for all other vaccines or medications, the Canadian government, Health Canada, our colleagues, examine all of the clinical studies conducted in Canada and elsewhere throughout the world. All of the data is compiled. Canadian studies were conducted, but they are perhaps not as comprehensive, because there are still more to come. The clinical data we received is sufficient to reassure us: the vaccine is safe and more than 90% effective for protecting Canadians who receive it.
