Steps I took to fact-check this.

Step 1 I went to snopes.com to check on the validity of the claims however there were no results even when I expanded my search field to be very broad so I was slightly discouraged by that but I still had faith because CTV is a very reliable source on this topic.

Step 2 I went on google and typed in “did the NACI expand its recommendations for AstraZeneca vaccine” and went on a website other than the CTVs website so I checked CBC and global news to confirm the information and they all had similar stories to that of CTV so I was inclined to believe the report.

Step 3 I went to the NACI website and saw that they were directly from the website of the government of Canada and that they were most definitely an authority on this source.

Step 4 after compiling all my results and seeing that all the people reporting on this topic were reliable and that the people making the statement were legitimate authorities on this topic. So from all of this information, a can decide that this is a legitimate article and it is supplied from a very reliable source the information contained is most likely real and a true article
