The US is recommending a pause in the use of a COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in Canada, but not yet available here.
It is investigating six reports of blood clots possibly linked to the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.
Six women out of more than 6.8-million Americans who received the J&J vaccine developed clots in a6 to 13 day span.
One died.
Johnson & Johnson now says it is delaying the rollout of its vaccine in Europe due to the US investigation.
The vaccine was approved for use in Canada in early March, with the federal government saying it had pre-purchased 10 million doses, with options to buy another 28 million.
