So Ontario is halting the use of the AZ vaccine for first use. They’ll still be using it as your second dose if you got the first one and they’re running tests to see if you can mix & match vaccines.
My dad got AZ a few weeks ago and he is livid. They’re saying they’re halting the use because it’s dangerous and he’s so angry. Saying it’s my fault and that he could’ve died because obviously it’s too dangerous to use hence them pulling it. He says he won’t be going back for the second dose unless they offer him something else.
I want to cry. He’s not yelled at me or anything but he’s really upset and blaming me. It’s not like I drove him to appointment and restrained him while they gave him the needle. I asked the pharmacist to call and talk to him and talk to him about it. Last month when he received it it looked like he (he’s 52) wouldn’t even be able to sign up for the vaccine until June or July so this vaccine was easier to get.
Guess I’ll be spending the day in my room
from the short video I watched earlier it seems like Alberta is angling it more as, “we don’t know when/how much of AZ we’ll get so we’re saving what we do have for second doses vs new doses” which is a little better? Ontario came right out and said they’re halting it due to danger. :/
