Health Editor’s Note: AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines are not currently approved for emergency use in the U.S. Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for emergency use and people in the U.S. are encouraged to take whichever vaccine they are first offered. The upside with the J&J vaccine is that it is a one time dose. Every person vaccinated is one less person this coronavirus can use to spread and make more of itself ….Carol

“We are obviously watching what is happening with a specific batch in Europe. We can reassure all Canadians that no AstraZeneca doses came from the same batch,” he said.
Canada approved the AstraZeneca vaccine last month and has ordered 20 million doses. Ottawa has also secured an additional 2 million doses through an agreement with the Serum Institute of India and expects to get them by mid-May.

Good. Then the gov lackeys that support this stuff can show up in line with the public to get theirs. No, I don’t mean in a photo op by themselves and a nurse. I mean in line with everyone else getting the same dose from the same batch. No fake jab, no distilled water, no BS. Yeah, that’ll happen.
