If you're planning a cruise: 'Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises & Carnival exclude those who have received mixed COVID-19 vaccinations, noting AstraZeneca + another vaccine now considered unvaccinated and unable to sail.' cruisecritic.com/news/6302/ #cdnpoli
Some cruise lines accept mixing of mRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna as fully vaccinated. Also, the policy may depend on your point of embarcation so best to check with the company's policy before planning a cruise to avoid disappointment.
The move has left many Canadians and Brits who received mixed doses alongside AstraZeneca upon the recommendations of their home countries wondering what will happen to their cruises.
While dose mixing is common in countries like Canada and the UK, the U.S. FDA does not recognize vaccine mixing.

Be very suspicious of these sorts of claims:
(1) While Ottawa is responsible for 1,050 Indigenous water systems across Canada, one-third of all households on reserves aren’t included, because they have no running water or get it from private wells and cisterns.
(2) Many of the cancelled long-term unsafe drinking water advisories have been achieved through temporary measures, which may not last until permanent solutions are in place.
(3) There’s been no improvement in the number of reserve water systems that are at medium or high risk of failure since the Liberals took power. In 2015, 43% of 699 systems were at medium or high risk. As of 2019, 43% of 718.

Now let's look at how grownups deal with this issue.
'Not in solidarity with us': Indigenous leaders call for church arsons to stop: ctvnews.ca/canada/not-in-… #cdnpoli
'Residential school survivors and Indigenous leaders are calling for unknown arsonists to stop burning down churches after more than a dozen Christian places of worship were set on fire and vandalized recently.'
“Burning down churches is not in solidarity with us indigenous people. As I said we do not destroy people's places of worship,” said Jenn Allan-Riley, an assistant Pentecostal minister at Living Waters Church, in a press conference on Monday.

Canada is about to OK mixing AstraZeneca vaccines for the first dose with Pfizer and Moderna for the 2nd dose. The researcher who presided over the development of AZ says that's dangerous. #cdnpoli
"Our experience to date is that it produces pretty severe reactogenicity, so severe that we don't think that's going to be viable and by that I mean, you get your second dose if you flip it over, you'll get really sick, so I would not advise that” Sir John Bell said.

True: CDC gives much more info than our gov't. For Canada, I use a better site run by students at University of Saskatchewan.
Re CDC:
% of U.S. pop'n 12+ vaccinated:
59.6% at least 1 dose, 48% fully vaccinated
% of U.S. pop'n 18+ vaccinated
62.4% at least 1 dose, 51.2% fully
% of population 65+ vaccinated
85.8% at least 1 dose, 74.6% fully vaccinated
Data also explain why the US is so far ahead of us in opening up, while having lower rate of new infections. Combination of a far higher rate of people fully vaccinated, particularly most vulnerable groups, for a much longer period of time than Canada.

Yep. B.C. health ministry takes same position:
"The provincial Ministry of Health said in a statement Thursday that when expired vaccines are administered 'in general, those who receive an expired vaccine should be advised, and recommended revaccination'."
It also says the expired products should then be sequestered in the refrigerator and returned to public health for safe disposal."
"A video meant for training purposes on the B.C. Centre for Disease Control's website says "expired vaccine is wasted." Other BCCDC and Health Canada documentation on the AstraZeneca vaccine indicate that it should be used before the expiration date ..."

Ahem, Ontario: B.C. gov't on giving expired AstraZeneca vaccines to people:
The provincial Ministry of Health said in a statement that when expired vaccines are administered "in general, those who receive an expired vaccine should be advised, and recommended revaccination."
It also says the expired products should then be sequestered in the refrigerator and returned to public health for safe disposal.
