Thank you.
Dr. Quach-Thanh, NACI has previously recommended that adults over 70 years of age should be prioritized in the first phase of vaccine rollout across Canada, but we know that many seniors over 70 have not been vaccinated yet. NACI also said that efforts should be made to complete that stage before proceeding to any subsequent stage as vaccine supply increases.
In your view, how should the provinces and territories prioritize administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine in light of NACI's recent recommendation against use in adults 65 and older?
