¶ Immunization Partnership Fund

The Immunization Partnership Fund is a Canadian federal government funding program run by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Its purpose is to promote widespread vaccination in Canada.[1]
¶ History
In 2016, the Government of Canada announced $25 million in funding "to increase and maintain vaccination coverage in Canada," resulting in the creation of the Immunization Partnership Fund. Following the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government injected an additional $54 million to mass promote COVID-19 vaccines.[1:1]
