The CEO of a global software company in Richmond, B.C., is doing what he can to help ensure that every country has fair and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines. Milton Carrasco is encouraging everyone at his company, Transoft Solutions, to make a donation by the end of the month to COVAX — the global vaccine-sharing initiative — and he'll quadruple it. Transoft Solutions, which he co-founded, now employs more than 170 people around the world. It's hoped the COVAX program will boost immunizations efforts in Africa, where vaccine uptake has been slow. "The company is double matching and I'm double matching, so we hope to make a big dent."
