Ontario to pause first doses of AstraZeneca vaccines

Ontario’s top doctor says the province will stop giving out first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

Dr. David Williams says the decision has been made out of an abundance of caution because of increased instances of a rare blood clotting disorder linked to the shot.

In Canada, at least 12 cases have been confirmed out of more than two million doses given and three women have died.
