PHAC to take over running Vaccine Injury Support Program from private company
September 9, 2025
The Public Health Agency of Canada is set to take over the country’s compensation program for individuals who have been severely injured by vaccines next year from an outside company that has been subject to criticism over its administration practices.
Guillaume Bertrand, director of communications for Health Minister Marjorie Michel, said in a statement to The Globe and Mail that a funding agreement with OXARO Inc., an Ottawa-based company, will conclude at the end of March.
He said the federal government plans to transition the administration of the Vaccine Injury Support Program to PHAC.

Ontario is facing a shortfall of nearly $2-billion to maintain the $10-a-day child-care program next year, and fees may have to go up without additional funding from the province or the federal government, according to a new report on the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care program from the provincial Auditor-General. The province’s agreement with Ottawa expires March 31. With six months to go, Ontario has not yet signed an extension, although it has agreed to an extension in principle.
