All four vaccines are effective at preventing severe, symptomatic infection with COVID-19. The AstraZeneca vaccine is highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. Even one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine can lower the risk of a COVID-19 infection leading to hospitalization. The best way to prevent COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations in Canada is to increase population immunity. The more people who receive vaccines, the more we will be able to reduce or prevent community spread.
The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is being administered through the participating pharmacies. Please visit wechu.org/cv/vaccine to learn more about the vaccines currently available. If you have any concerns about whether this vaccine is right for you, please contact your health care provider.
