Canada will drop 13.6 million doses of the coronary vaccine

Canada will drop about 13.6 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine because it could not find any recipients for them either inside or abroad.

The country signed a contract with AstraZeneca in 2020 to receive 20 million doses of its vaccine, and 2.3 million Canadians received at least one dose, mainly between March and June 2021.

After concerns in the first half of 2021 about the clotting of rare but potentially fatal blood caused by AstraZeneca vaccine, Canada focused on the use of numerous m vaccine supplies RNA by Pfizer - B NTech and Modernna.

This development comes as many European countries are experiencing a significant increase in coronary infection, reports The Guardian.
