This is done through a fair allocation system within 12 to 18 months prioritizing speed, scale, and access. Project activities include: (1) supporting the research and development of up to 5 vaccine candidates; and (2) supporting the manufacture and distribution of up to 1.2 billion vaccine doses by 2021. This amendment increased Canada’s original contribution under this project to CEPI by $20 Million.
