Health  Mr. Speaker, moments ago, the Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed that an individual living in Canada experienced rare blood clotting following immunization with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Yesterday, Australia announced that it is suspending use of the AstraZeneca vaccine

Health  Mr. Speaker, across Canada, given frequent recent changes in advice from the federal government, people are asking questions about the AstraZeneca vaccine and about vaccine dosing interval advice in Canada. Some of this might have been alleviated if the media had access

Health  ; then the federal government said it was pausing the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, and a few minutes later said it was not pausing the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, or the other way around. Given that NACI is a body created and appointed by the federal government, will the minister give

Health committee   on this matter, given that AstraZeneca has declined to appear before the committee on the vaccine portion of the existing study. We've already had NACI and Health Canada appear on this. It would have been nice if those two bodies gave the information to the committee prior to its hitting

Health committee  Dr. Tam, in response to a question from one of my colleagues you cited data saying that approximately 80% of Canadians were open to receiving a vaccine. Are you or is your agency assuming about a 20% hesitancy rate in Canada, then?

Health committee  Thank you. For my last question I'll go back to Mr. Stewart. Just to be perfectly clear, as of today, if a Canadian crosses the border to be vaccinated in the U.S., even with appropriate documentation, they would still have to quarantine upon re-entering Canada, is that so?

Health committee  There are Canadians who can enter the U.S. legally and could do this. If somebody were allowed access into the U.S. to be vaccinated, would they have to quarantine upon return?

Health committee  So that's when fully vaccinated travellers would be exempt from quarantining. It's the fall.

Health committee  Thank you. The fall is when fully vaccinated travellers would not have to go through a quarantine hotel to enter Canada, Dr. Tam.

Health committee  Then I will ask my question again. Mr. Stewart, do you believe that, per the OIC—the government's direction—travelling across the border with a doctor's note to get a vaccine is medically necessary?

Health committee  Thank you. To either Dr. Stewart or Dr. Lucas, on what date will fully vaccinated travellers be exempt from quarantine upon entering Canada?

Health committee  Thank you, Chair. Dr. Lucas, 11 days ago David Musyj, the CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital, applied through Health Canada's special access program to have excess vaccines from Detroit, which are currently going to waste, delivered to his hospital for use in Windsor. By what

Health committee  Thank you. Mr. Stewart or Dr. Lucas, by what date do you currently expect 20% of Canadians to have received both doses of vaccine?

Health committee  Thank you. What date do you expect to have about 50% of Canadians having received both doses of vaccine?

Health committee  Did you have any concerns that an undisclosed problem with the person in charge of Canada's vaccine rollout might be problematic?
