A vial of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine at a mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Calgary on April 22, 2021.The National Advisory Committee on Immunization says people who got the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine for the first dose can be offered either Pfizer-BioNTech or ModernaThe advice affects more than two million Canadians who received the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine before provinces stopped using it for first doses last month.
The guidance is not binding but most provincial governments have indicated they were waiting for the information before setting their policies for second doses. A Spanish study concluded a second dose of Pfizer after a first dose of AstraZeneca produced more than twice the antibodies as a second dose of AstraZeneca.
The plan has worked to that end, with Canada now one of the most vaccinated countries in the world when it comes to first doses. As of May 30, Canada is now in the top 10 countries for first doses in the world, and is likely to surpass the United Kingdom on first doses by the end of the week.Second doses are starting to be given faster now, with several provinces moving to fully vaccinate the highest risk populations, including seniors and those with compromised immune systems.
they didn't test for transmission or long term side effects they sure as heck didn't test for drug interactions
Excellent! I’m ready for my 2nd jab when it’s my turn! 💉💉 GetVaccinated GetVaccinatedASAP
Bring it on! Today: I can almost register online through the province for dose 2, but at the last point of the booking (select provincial booking; entering health card info; vaccine appt booking) it responds I must go through a pharmacy because I got my first shot there. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
No thanks. I started with AZ and want my 2nd dose to be AZ

If you have faith in HealthCanada telling you this shit take a look in the mirror...you are staring at an idiot. The vaccines act in completely different ways hence their patent protection. Believe their lies at your own peril, GUINEA PIG!

Do so you djo
As of today, June 1/21, the CDC states that the optimal time periods for Pfizer & Moderna are 21 & 28 days, respectively. However, the 2nd dose may be given after 42 days if necessary
I’ll most likely get my Moderna again but I was wondering if the different combo of amino acids in the vaccine would result in the body creating more antibodies.
Has anyone heard when AZ might be shipped into pharmacies ... believe they are still only offering the remnants of expiring doses.
No thanks - I took AZ and 3 days later is was “paused”. This is new science and they clearly don’t have all the answers. I will take a second AZ to be on the safe side.
