Description

COVID vaccines approved and circulated by Health Canada — Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca — are safe and effective, but one of these is not like the other. AstraZeneca is a viral vector vaccine and it has faced waves of bad press, poor communication and changing guidelines. Many question its use. In a time of reopening and specific restrictions, why is an effective vaccine that millions of Canadians have received getting short shrifted? What happens to the thousands of AZ doses Canada still has available? Guests: May Warren and Alex Boyd, Toronto Star reporters on COVID and vaccines If you would like to support the journalism of the Toronto Star, you can subscribe at thestar.com/subscribingmatters.
