3 points on this because there's renewed interest in domestic production of vaccines in Canada in light of tariffs & general global health chaos:
1. Local production (globally) is needed for security of supply of some vaccines
2. Not all local production will be helpful
3. Choose products carefully

Measles vaccination campaigns are large undertakings, but:
1. The vaccine is very safe and well-studied
2. The vaccine is very effective in real-world conditions
3. The measles vaccine market globally is strong - vaccines are generally affordable, accessible, and have multiple suppliers globally.

This is exactly the kind of medicine for which there is a strong argument for the role of a public manufacturer - market size is too small to sustain the interest of quality assured manufacturers in the private sector, leading to product shortages and uncertainty compromising patient care.
