Agenda

Panel 1: International Deployment

Distribution of COVID-19 vaccines has already begun. With none being manufactured in Canada, the movement of shipments of vaccine into Canada has to be both expedited and carefully controlled.  International organizations have been hard at work identifying guidance of use to both business and governments, and these have been put into practice by border agencies worldwide. Hear about the work of the World Customs Organization (WCO) and IATA, and how that work has been reflected in the response of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to move vaccines across borders. 

Moderator: Carol West, President & CEO Canadian Society of Customs Brokers 

Presenters: 
Vyara Filipova, Technical Attache, World Customs Organization 
Andrea Gruber, Head, Special Cargo, IATA  
Fred Gaspar, Director General, Commercial Programs, Canada Border Services Agency   

Panel 2: Deployment in Canada

Once a COVID-19 vaccine is in Canada, there is still much highly specialized work to be done from many different stakeholders. This part of the presentation will offer perspectives from organizations directly involved in various aspects of delivering the vaccine. You'll hear about the unique challenges - and their solutions - for the final leg of this extraordinary undertaking.

Moderator: Pina Melchionna, President & CEO, CITT

Presenters: 
Anonymous CSIS speaker 
Nissa Mohomed Shariff, Sr. Director, Health Strategy - PwC
Valerie Khalemska - Senior Account Manager, Drone Delivery Canada
