The federal Conservatives say they're worried about vaccine hesitancy among seniors because of conflicting advice on the use of the recently-approved Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
Tory MP Michelle Rempel Garner says the advice is confusing.
A national panel of vaccine experts says provinces should not use the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on seniors.
But Health Canada says it can be used on Canadians aged 65 or older.
Michelle Rempel Garner on Twitter:
We have called for an emergency meeting to understand why Health Canada is recommending use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in seniors when the Immunization Task Force did not. Details here
