On March 12th, 327 pharmacies began administering the AstraZeneca vaccine to people ages 60 to 64 as part of a provincial pilot program taking place in Toronto, Windsor-Essex and Kingston.

In a release last night, the agency says it has determined the vaccine has not been associated with an increase in the overall risk of blood clots.
