Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin announced on Wednesday that the province would follow the lead of Alberta and Ontario in pausing the first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, adding that many Nova Scotians are already opting for mRNA vaccines.
Rankin said officials are awaiting the results of a global study looking at the impact of mixing the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine with another type of vaccine before making a final decision..
