“Get whatever vaccine is available to you. It’s that simple.”
That was the message today from Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada’s chief medical adviser, as the agency said the AstraZeneca vaccine is safe and people should not hesitate to roll up their sleeve. That comes after reports of rare blood clots among some who have received the shot around the world. However, it is important to note just how rare they are, especially compared to the risk of clots that come with medications people take every day. Sharma said the vaccine carries
