I'm listening to a presser on @CBCNews right now. Chyron: "Members of big city mayors' caucus speak before meeting PM Trudeau today in Ottawa."

- really don't think I should have to get a booster, simply bec I mixed my doses: AZ & Pfizer, holding off for now. Many of us received the AZ, in a way to protect our communities, & cannot see anything wrong w mixed dosing. Why is the US unsure about this?
