The regulatory approval comes as the Canadian province of Alberta reported its first death linked to the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine after a patient died from a rare blot condition, VITT. The patient was a woman in her 50s.
However, authorities have reiterated that the vaccine's benefits far outweigh the concerns over its safety.
It was the first death and the second case of VITT out of the roughly 250,000 doses of the vaccine administered in the province. Last month, Quebec recorded Canada's first death linked to the shot. Watch video 03:17

Kekule says observing a safe distance is also key to prevent contracting coronavirus mutants. "These mutants do not fly further [than other coronavirus variants], that's important to note," he says. Kekule says the mutants are somewhat more infectious but says this has no relevance for counter measures. He says it is recommended to avoid kissing and hugging others. He says briefly passing someone during a regular outdoor activity poses very little danger of infection. Studies have shown that the risk of outdoor infection is very small. One study from China says that, of 7,324 reported infections, only one was traced back to an open-air setting. Germany's Robert Koch Institute (RKI) echoes this view, stating on its website that very few infections occur outdoors.
