Canada is set to share 100 million COVID-19 vaccines with the world, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Trudeau made the comments as he wrapped up his third and final day at the G7 Leader's Summit in England.

Speaking at a press conference at the end of the G7 leader’s summit in England on Sunday, Trudeau said Canada will provide funding to the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, to help 87 million doses be provided to developing countries.

Trudeau said “in addition,” the country is donating 13 million doses procured by Canada to other countries through the global vaccine-sharing initiative COVAX.

Of those shots, 1.3 million doses will be Johnson&Johnson vaccines, while another 4.1 will be the vaccines manufactured by Oxford-AstraZeneca. All will be bought via COVAX.
