COVISHIELD was authorized for use in accordance with the Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale and Advertising of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19 . As an extraordinary measure to provide earlier access to vaccine supplies in the context of the global pandemic, Verity Pharmaceuticals Inc. is providing, at this time, vaccine vials and cartons labelled with a global product name and global label information. This label is presented in English-only and is missing some important Canadian-specific information normally found on Health Canada approved labels (see the Information for healthcare professionals section).
