ID Biomedical shifts surplus flu vaccine to Canada
ID Biomedical, Canada’s main flu vaccine supplier, will sell its remaining surplus doses in Canada rather than the United States. CEO Dr. Tony Holler said the U.S. move would not aid accelerating licensing, despite a multiyear U.S. contract for Fluviral doses once approved. Officials noted ongoing U.S. discussions for potential vaccine import, with Canada currently facing a shortage and uncertainty over how doses will be allocated between government programs and the private market.

Bank of Canada holds rates amid dollar concerns
The Bank of Canada left its key rate at 2.5 percent and signaled a cautious stance as the falling U.S. dollar weighs on Canadian exports. Executive director Harold Wilson notes rates affect the loonie less than U.S. economic conditions, while central bankers warn exchange rates could slow growth if the American dollar weakens further.
