GSP* Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 https://bc.ctvnews.ca/mobile/when-will-b-c-resume-vaccinations-for-frontline-workers-update-coming-next-week-1.5372290 “Henry suggested Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine, which is not expected to arrive in Canada until the end of April, could be the key to getting frontline workers back in the queue.” “She also alluded to the Novavax vaccine, which has yet to be approved in Canada, as a possible candidate for those workers.” Doesn’t sound like teachers are getting protected anytime soon.

It’s due to the delay awhile back in receiving the vaccines from Europe. Also, there’s been a pause on the Astra-Zeneca vaccine while reports of bloodclots are confirmed or not. Canada is receiving millions of doses in the weeks ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of the political and then media pile on on AZ. the fact that it’s been supplied at cost and not for profit probably doesn’t sit well with German and American Pharmaceutical companies. There is a lot of vaccine nationalism going on out there https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/nov/23/oxford-astrazeneca-results-covid-vaccine-developing-countries just like we don’t see much of the issues of Pfizer shortfalls in production (in the EU) when they happen (and they did massively early on)! Also to note the AstraZenicca isn’t in the vaccine business as they are predominantly a cancer treatment company. The vaccine was developed by the university of Oxford and AZ while they contributed slightly to that are predominantly just the manufacturing part of it. They have had to make massive investments in order to product this and to some degree are learning the hard way about vaccine supply chains and that yield isn’t consistent. the EU seems to have wanted a scapegoat for their failure and while AZ hasn’t been perfect they seem to have been smacked around a bit because of this. When my turn comes I’ll take whatever vaccine that’s given to me. Edited April 3, 2021 by UKNuck96 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
