Because of concerns over blood clots, and out of an abundance of caution, Ontario stopped offering AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine as a first dose option on May 11. Canada has seen 12 cases of blood clots with three patients dying, with eight cases in Ontario. Local pharmacies in Whitney and Bancroft have confirmed the pause on the AstraZeneca vaccine, and say they should have more supply of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines within the next couple of weeks to compensate. Health Canada and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, along with their provincial counterparts are currently determining how best to use the AstraZeneca vaccine going forward.
