Canadian military gives logistics support


Major-General Dany Fortin (left) and other staff of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the department of national defence, including logistics experts, operational planners, pharmacists, health care administrators, engineers and information technology experts, are assisting Canada's efforts to provide every citizen with access to a Covid-19 vaccine.

 

Assigned to oversee logistical planning, Fortin is being named VP logistics and operations at the Public Health Agency of Canada and brings with him extensive experience leading complex operations, e.g. NATO's mission in Iraq in 2018.

 

The distribution of Covid-19 vaccines is logistically complex given the geography of Canada, ultra-cold storage requirements, distribution to remote and isolated communities and coordination between various levels of government. (amh)
