Advisory committee recommends making AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine available to Canadians 30+


Last Updated Friday, April 23, 2021 5:15PM EDT
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office said Friday that the province will continue to administer AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to those 40 years of age and older, despite an updated recommendation from Canada s National Advisory Committee on Immunizations (NACI) that it now be offered to those 30 and over.
A spokesperson for Elliot s office said in a statement that while Ontario welcomes the recommendation to lower the age threshold, there is not currently sufficient supply to expand eligibility.
“With approximately 337,000 doses remaining and future shipments not expected until May, we will continue to administer AstraZeneca to individuals 40 and over in pharmacies and primary care settings until we receive additional supply,” the statement read. “This is aligned with Ontario’s vaccine rollout which prioritizes age and risk.” ....
