At the end of January, French President Emmanuel Macron made a statement stating that the AstraZeneca vaccine was not effective for people over 65 years old, and then scammed a backlash from Britain, the first in the world to approve the emergency use of the vaccine.
However, data on the efficacy of the vaccine have since been accumulated, including an announcement by a Scottish researcher that the AstraZeneca vaccine has a very high preventive effect. In addition, it is interpreted that the authorities have eased the existing position due to the lack of vaccine supply from Pfizer-Bioentech and Modena in France. However, citizens over the age of 75 can only be vaccinated with Pfizer-Bioentech, Moder or vaccine.
On the other hand, other recommendations have been made in Canada, which has approved the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in subjects over 18 years of age. On that day, Canada’s National Immunity Advisory Committee recommended that people over 65 should not get the AstraZeneca vaccine, as data on the efficacy of the vaccine were too limited.
However, the Committee also added that the’substantial evidence’ that can be confirmed in the country where the vaccine is actually vaccinated is potentially beneficial and there are no safety issues.
Reuters added that the committee’s recommendations are not enforceable, but may influence health decisions in the future.
