Canada's vaccine panel confirms choice to delay doses up to four months
Toronto Sun ^ | Apr 2021 | Mia Rabson

OTTAWA — The National Advisory Committee on Immunization is standing by its emergency recommendation to extend timing of second doses of COVID-19 vaccines up to four months after the first, but says most Canadians will probably only wait half that long.

The panel is also keeping an eye on the latest reports, released Wednesday in Europe and the United Kingdom, on Oxford-AstraZeneca’s vaccine and the risk of blood clots.

“We made the decision out of an abundance of caution, while further investigations were ongoing,” said Dr. Shelley Deeks, the vice-chair of NACI. “So we will now look at the new data.”

More than six million Canadians have now received at least one vaccine dose and the vaccination rate is accelerating as more deliveries arrive.

Quach-Thanh said NACI still believes it is going to be better to delay second doses up to four months, instead of three or four weeks, so more people can get a first dose faster. But she said she also think that wait will be cut to between two and 2.5 months as more doses are shipped.

Pfizer was tested as a two-dose vaccine given three weeks apart, and Moderna and AstraZeneca two doses, given four weeks apart.

On March 3 NACI issued a “rapid response statement” urging provinces and territories to expand that to up to four months to get more Canadians covered with one dose faster.

Deeks said the panel looked at clinical trials, “real-world evidence” of the vaccines in the general population, lab data and modelling that showed a single dose could significantly reduce deaths and hospitalizations from COVID-19. Vaccine science also typically shows immune responses improve if the wait between doses is longer, she said.

Sometimes, it’s good to be Canadian.

Especially if you’re an antivaxxer.
By the time we get it, herd immunity will be a global concept.

There’s no need for caution, because the strange rash rings around injections or hurting arms are not from the vaccine. These problems would have randomly existed without any vaccine.

Until each case is verified by the CDC, these are not from a shot.

First I have even heard of it. Not a scientific sample but I know about 20 people who have had both shots (including myself and my wife) and no such side-effects have been reported as we share stories. A couple of people slept or felt lousy for a day but most just had the same site pain you get after a flu shot for a day or so.

Also, anyone who has any health condition after having had COVID-19 got it from COVID-19. The CDC also says car accidents in which people died were caused by COVID-19, as long as any medical person surmises or tests the blood of a car accident victim.

Casto’s son is simply buying an easy four more months of tyranny because even the vaccinated aren’t “fully” vaccinated. That’ll get him to the fall when the next uptick will extend his power grab. 15 years to curb the spread!

Same here. And LOL at the 15-minute waiting area that was at the CVS where we got our shots in case of an allergic reaction. The nurse laughed when I asked had anyone used it...nope.

There are a small number of reports of a ring rash around the injection area. Doesn't seem to be a big deal. 574,966 dead as of today, vs a 24 hour rash. People can make their own risk assessment.

It would not surprise me, if he was trying to create such a crisis in Canada that he can seize control. The globalists want the world under their control by 2025, at the earliest.

Sure...

Trust a government that is: actively replacing you with massive illegal and legal immigration, calls you "Deplorable", and which has already muzzled and imprisoned you in your home.

Pass.

So if I stabbed someone, they survived, the hospital patched them up but they died from a wound infection a week later, I’m not to blame correct?

If the tests were flawed, shouldn’t we relook at those numbers?

The most common reaction to the vaccine among people I know is a great sense of relief...

My understanding is that most of the local side effects are a reaction to the nano lipid coating and not the rna or the spike protein.

I read they tested the mrna vaccines without any target protein and still got local reactions.

I don’t know why they would feel so relieved. The China virus is incredibly survivable. Some morons act as if they won the lottery.

Disclaimer: I’m not referring to the elderly or anyone with serious comorbidities who are in greater danger than the average person.

Great sense of relief knowing the end is very near? That’s some twisted way of thinking. I’m sorry they lined up to be test subjects. Once the variant is released that they plan on, people with the jab will start dropping.

The vaccine industry is evil - and are always plotting plotting plotting plotting their next scam

As can be seen in this year later with this nonsense with Covid this was probably the plan all along was to hurt all the Sheeple to get the stupid vaccine

Get compliance and then line them up for shots every couple months for the rest of their life that they have to pay for

Do you think I’m kidding?
