Her first vaccination dose coincides with news that arose about blood-clotting cases linked to two vaccines.
U.S. health officials announced that the use of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine has been suspended during a health investigation into six cases of “rare and severe” blood clots that occurred in women between 18 and 48 years of age.
This vaccine has not yet been shipped to Canada.
Meanwhile, the first case of blood-clotting from the AstraZeneca vaccine ( the COVIDSHIELD version from the Serum Institute of India) was reported in Canada today.
Health Canada stated that it will continue to closely monitor the situation, adding that it “continues to consider that the benefits of the AstraZeneca and COVISHIELD vaccines to protect against COVID-19 outweigh the potential risks”.
