Sanofi Pasteur, Canada’s largest vaccination company announced yesterday the launch of the new whooping cough immunization vaccine for workplace and home protection. The vaccine is called Adacel and is goes out to general use in May. This vaccination extends and goes alongside with their newest workplace flu shot called Workplace Flu and will provide guaranteed protection to Canadians during their cold and frosty northern winters.

Last year, Sanofi Pasteur also brought something new to the table by shaking the pharma market with innovative BCG cancer treatment medicines and handy “Delhi Belly” remedies, this way extending its line of previously purely vaccination products targeted against dozens of preventable diseases such as diphtheria, polio, meningitis, tetanus, influenza, acellular Pertussis and more.

Sanofi Pasteur was originally founded as the preventable diseases vaccines business of the Sanofi-Aventis Group, the third largest pharmaceutical company in the world.

Canadian Health Ministry spokesman Vivien Didier stated yesterday on Canadian television that both houses of Parliament are reviewing the National Immunization Strategy (MIS) initiative to make Meningitis and Hepatitis A vaccination obligatory in all Canadian public and private schools.

Since 2003, the National Immunization Strategy has assisted the vaccination program planning in Canada by bringing immunization issues to the forefront of the Canadian public health agenda. It is noted in the press that this initiative is also backed and lobbied by Sanofi Pasteur, Canada’s largest preventable diseases vaccination company, developers of a number of well-known immunization shots like Vivaxim, Adacel, Menactra or Immucyst.

Political reviewers in Toronto Star assess the probability of its endorsement as “reasonably high” and expect the initiative to be approved in the first reading. No exact financing figures for it are specified. The initiative is scheduled for discussion in Ottawa in the first week of May and if approved may go in effect in September 2008 with the new schoolyear.
