The CBC reporting this morning Canada will change its guidelines
The news agency says Ottawa will recommend the Oxford- AstraZeneca vaccine be given to those 65 years of age and older.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization previously recommended Canadians over 65 not receive an AstraZeneca-Oxford shot earlier this month, despite emerging evidence from around the world demonstrating its ability to prevent severe COVID-19 in older adults.
Meantime, the Prime Minister says we will continue to include the AstraZeneca vaccine in Canada's inoculation program, even as more European countries suspend its use over concerns it could cause blood clots.
Justin Trudeau says none of the doses we've received are from the batch linked to the possible side-effects reported in Europe.
