TORONTO — Federal funding for COVID-19 vaccines will stop this year, and the provinces and territories will be responsible for buying them, as well as determining the timing of the vaccinations, the Public Health Agency of Canada says.

The agency published the information online on Friday, along with the National Advisory Committee on Immunization’s COVID-19 vaccine guidance for 2025 through to the summer of 2026.

Feds recommend those 80 and older, residents of long-term care homes and the immunocompromised get two doses of the vaccine per year.{ai:summary}<p>Canada will cease federal funding for COVID-19 vaccines this year, shifting the responsibility to provinces and territories for procurement and scheduling.
