That is not true. In fact, even on Cross-Country Canada Checkup where there was an expert being interviewed for two hours, he made it clear that this is an evolving process. He said even 24 hours ago he could not say the relationship between flu vaccine and this new vaccine, the interaction, in a way that he could now. Things are changing. But I can assure the Member -- and I don’t know exactly what he’s looking at in the Public Health Agency of Canada -- information is changing and the latest information, I can assure the Member because I was there when Dr. Butler-Jones and Dr. Kami Kandola were reviewing the facts as they were coming about, and the clinical trials have been done on children, and they have found that they don’t need two shots for children, which they thought was originally required. They have found that one shot is enough. From my understanding, from a layperson’s point of view, less of this vaccine has proven to be effective and it has even proven to be that even for younger children it’s safe for them to use.
So, Mr. Speaker, I think it’s really important for the residents to know that all vaccines in Canada go through a rigorous testing process. This has been done. This has been done on people and children and it has been found to be safe. There is always a risk and benefit analysis being done. There’s always risk in any medication that you take, but as much as the Public Health Agency of Canada can tell us, they have done the testing. I think Members should know that information does change and the Public Health Agency is trying to get as updated information as possible. Thank you.
