When asked about a report of an adverse event involving blood clots upon someone in Canada receiving an Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, Quebec’s Health Minister Christian Dubé and public health director Horacio Arruda reassured on Tuesday Quebecers the vaccine is still safe to take. “What is important is that even COVID-19 can give you embolic coagulation problems, and the risk of having the disease and comparing to the risk of having this complication is very [much] higher in the disease,” said Arruda.
