Ontarian's who received AstraZeneca as their first COVID-19 vaccine dose, may learn this morning if they can get a second dose if they choose.

Last week, the province suspended use of the controversial vaccine because it can cause blood clots in rare instances.

Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health, will be joined by Dr. Dirk Huyer, Coordinator, Provincial Outbreak Response, to provide an update on the status of the AstraZeneca vaccine at 10:00 this morning.
