The next pandemic is not a question of IF but WHEN. And we must be ready to save lives. The systems built to protect us are under strain, funding is retreating, and the window to act is now. With bold leadership and smart investment in CEPI's proven research and innovation model, Canada can help ensure the world has safe, effective vaccines within 100 days of the next threat emerging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-button\" data-toolset-blocks-button=\"53e9a6a61e571e5f5dc6dee313de1f84\"><a class=\"tb-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/resultscanada.ca\/campaign\/campaign-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"tb-button__icon\"><\/i><span class=\"tb-button__content\">read full call-to-action<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of our volunteer advocates took this action last month but we need to keep it going to ramp up the pressure!
