I agree. Since Canada seems apprehensive about using AstraZeneca anymore, that one would be good for other countries strictly because it's available in good numbers and richer countries would rather have Moderna and Pfizer. Might as well use it than let it sit unused. It's a no-brainer for countries that are getting ravaged by COVID. I'd take any of them in a heartbeat if I lived there.
We're only giving AZ as second doses now, no new first doses. We've actually just committed to send most of our AZ orders to COVAX for distribution in the developing world, which makes sense because unlike the mRNA vaccines AZ doesn't need to be stored in the hypercold freezers. I think it keeps in just regular drug fridges.
