AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine was authorized for use in accordance with the Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale and Advertising of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19 . As an extraordinary measure to provide earlier access to vaccine supplies in Canada in the context of the global pandemic, AstraZeneca is providing the vaccine with US vial and carton labels. These labels are presented in English-only and are missing some important Canadian-specific information normally found on Health Canada approved labels (see the Information for healthcare professionals section).
