Quebec will be giving COVID-19 vaccines at pharmacies later this month. What's the latest? Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott says the province won't administer the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine to seniors, according to The Canadian Press. She says the province plans to follow the advice of a national panel recommending against using that vaccine on people aged 65 and older. Quebec will offer COVID-19 vaccines at pharmacies, starting in the Montreal area the week of March 15. How many cases are there? Public health officials have reported more than 26,300 COVID-19 cases across eastern Ontario and western Quebec, including nearly 24,700 resolved cases. Elsewhere in eastern Ontario, 131 people have died of COVID-19, and 160 people have died in western Quebec.
