Ontario to stop giving first doses of AstraZeneca vaccine out of 'abundance of caution'

Ontario is preparing guidance for people who already received a first dose of AstraZeneca on what to do next, Dr. David Williams said.

Williams stressed that AstraZeneca recipients made the right decision, based on the advice available at the time, to get that vaccine. Ontario’s move comes hours after Alberta said it won’t give out more first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine for the time being because there aren’t any confirmed shipments coming.More On This TopicIn Canada, at least 12 cases have been confirmed out of more than two million doses given and three women have died.The province, along with others, is awaiting results of a clinical trial in the United Kingdom looking at giving a different vaccine for the second dose.

That would allow people who got AstraZeneca first to be given Pfizer or Moderna for their second dose.Article content

Makes zero sense !

GOOD NEWS: they will allow it as the Second Dose for folks who already got AstraZeneca as the First Dose. Dose 2 of AstraZeneca: The risk of the rare VITT blood clot is minimal: 'a one-in-a-million risk', according to Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada.

Out of 12 million dollars doses, 12 blood cloths confirmed, more than 8000 people have died on Ontario from coronavirus

Another “song and dance” from fordnation and his pals. No wonder I am exhausted trying to make sense out of this.

Sigh

Werent they the same ppl who last year said 'Speed trumps perfection'? So which is it or are we not being told the whole story?

Nothing to do with caution, they have wasted thousands of dosages, have around 50,000 left and using the ‘oh we are stopping AstraZeneca due to the VERY RARE risk of blood clot’ excuse used to cover up incompetence

Lol

Good thing those most vulnerable/those with predetermined conditions as well as high risk workers got vaccinated before running out!

So NACI was right all along?! Trudeau, Tam and Hajdu are full of it.

Ontario likely to mix first and second COVID-19 vaccine doses amid lack of AstraZeneca supply: ElliottOntario Health Minister Christine Elliott says it’s likely that recipients of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine may receive a different shot for their second dose Craziness. You can mix ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin or acetaminophen, without causing a problem. How would you mix vaccines with different mechanisms? Those of us who took Astra Zeneca vaccine were duped then by government, public health information Guess people aren’t dying fast enough I think I’ll wait until there is official word from EXPERTS as to whether this is the advisable or acceptable! Should be approved in the next few weeks.
