Vivien Didier, Canadian Health Ministry spokesman, stated yesterday on Canadian television that both houses of Parliament are reviewing the National Immunization Strategy (NIS) initiative to make Meningitis and Hepatisis A vaccination obligatory in all Canadian public and private schools.
The National Immunization Strategy has assisted the vaccination program planning in Canada Since 2003, pursuiting the idea that immunization issues must always be on the forefront of the Canadian public health agenda. This initiative is also backed and lobbied by Canada’s largest preventable diseases vaccination company- Sanofi Pasteur, developers of various well-known immunization shots like Adacel, Vivaxim, Menactra or Immucyst.
Toronto Star’s articles assess the probability of NIS to be endorsed as “reasonably high”. Political reviewers expect the initiative to be approved in the first reading, with having no exact financing figures for it specified. The initiative is to be discussed in Ottawa in the first week of May. If approved, it may go in effect in September 2008, just with the new schoolyear.
