First AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine can be followed by Pfizer or Moderna, Canadian advisory group says

Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press

Viral vector vaccines, like those from AstraZeneca, Covishield, and Johnson & Johnson, are linked to a rare blood-clot condition that mRNA vaccines, like those from Pfizer and Moderna, are not connected to. The risk of that rare side effect is one of several factors leading to the advice that vaccines can be mixed.

“NACI recommendations are based on the strength of emerging evidence over top of a strong foundation of many decades of experience with vaccine programs in Canada,” Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said Tuesday.

ianabailey I’d like one of each please 😃

GFY NACI. I want the 2nd dose of AZ according to manufacturer's instructions and schedule. No mixing.

Aren’t they totally different acting vaccines?

globepolitics This sounds like triage. It sounds like, 'masks don't do anything,' when we didn't have enough PPE. Public health policy based on supply and demand. The failure of our governments to manage this crisis, has been criminal. Capitalism over human health.

Forty-one Canadians have now had a confirmed or suspected case of VITT and five have died, out of almost 2.2 million people who received the vaccine to date. Classic Liberal Overreaction. When can we get grown ups to run our Country? TrudeauVaccineFailure

12 weeks second dose AZ

How do you know Canadian advisory group? we barely have people who received a second does. You are all making this up as you go along.

This message paid for by the Liberal party of Canada.

thanks but no thanks:

Newp

Can I do placebo as both doses?

And that’s the ones I want next thanks

Mixed signals

Would not be me!!

l_stone I heard you could do the polio shot as the second dose

l_stone These are two COMPLETLY different vaccine model systems! mRNA and Vector Virus! Insanity

l_stone HA, nice try!, not a fuckn chance

Big shout out to all my Canadian friends for agreeing to this experiment..courageous. Human guinea 🐖

l_stone Convenient.

Or you can follow it by a bottle of aspirin. This narrative changes on a daily basis which does not shine a good light on the scientific nature of the recommendations.

l_stone Looking forward to the moderate reactions. astrazeneca TrudeauVaccineFailure

Is this an option or are they telling us this is how it is going down

Do we know if this will be accepted as proof of full vaccination for international travel? If we don't know, I'll stick with my second AZ dose.

l_stone Making it up as they go

Translation: Canada is 40th globally in total vaccines per 100 people 99th among fully vaccinated OneDoseSummer TrudeauVaccineFailure Team Train Wreck! 🧦🇨🇦 ❄️😜🤡🎈 And Repeat Over & Over & Over & Over....

AstraZeneca recipients can get Moderna or Pfizer for second COVID-19 shot: advisory committeeNACI’s published report says AstraZeneca recipients can be offered the same vaccine if they want it, or can be given either Pfizer or Moderna for their second shot The advice from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization affects more than two million Canadians who received the AstraZeneca vaccine before provinces stopped using it for first doses last month. 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. Has anyone heard when AZ might be shipped into pharmacies ... believe they are still only offering the remnants of expiring doses.
