Describing it as a "loan", the Biden administration has sent 1.5 million AstraZeneca doses to Canada already. The White House has developed a work-around for AstraZeneca by lending doses to countries that were already expecting deliveries of the AstraZeneca vaccine. O'Toole blames the government for 16-week wait between shotsO'Toole also questioned the science behind the policy of waiting 16 weeks between first and second doses. 1:16While NACI makes recommendations, it's ultimately up to the provinces and territories to decide how they use the vaccine shots — and how long an interval they require between doses.
