"…Nicole Basta, an epidemiologist at McGill University who is not involved in the project, said the CANVAS study will provide an important complement to the government's surveillance system.
"Together, they will give us the most complete information possible to detect, investigate, and verify any concerns that may arise about COVID-19 vaccines," she said."

McGill University professor Nicole Basta and her team have created an interactive online COVID-19 vaccine tracker, that provides real-time updates on progress in developing a safe and effective vaccine.

As countries struggle to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination uptake is a public health priority now more than ever. Efforts to increase vaccinations vary greatly around the globe. A new McGill-led study comparing policies around the world finds broad implementation of mandatory vaccination mandates. However, the penalties for failing to vaccinate differ significantly by country, ranging from fines to jail time.
