Abstract

As the race for a COVID-19 vaccine continues, Matthew Herder says Canadians deserve greater transparency about the deals secured by the federal government. Herder, who is the head of Dalhousie University's Health Law Institute, says deliberations about acceptable safety and efficacy standards for the vaccine are mostly happening behind closed doors — and this lack of transparency could undermine public confidence in a vaccine once it's ready.
