The global vaccine market is "intense and unpredictable," said Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand last week. But the rise of so-called vaccine nationalism has some global health experts sounding the alarm. Labonté helped pen a recent op-ed in The Conversation titled "Canada's 'me first' COVID-19 vaccine strategy may come at the cost of global health." That was especially understandable once other "high-income countries, primarily our neighbour to the south" started a run on potential vaccines, Labonté said. But Labonté said to do that, Canada and other richer nations will have to make sacrifices for the good of global health.
