Countries resume AstraZeneca vaccine rollout after reassurances

Al Jazeera  

Almost a dozen countries from Indonesia to France start using the COVID vaccine again, as EMA, WHO and UK bodies quell fears over blood clot reports. Nearly a dozen countries resumed use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 shots on Friday as European Union and British regulators said the benefits outweighed any risks after reports of rare instances of blood clotting that temporarily halted inoculations. “If it were me, I would be vaccinated tomorrow.” ‘It’s the virus we’re fighting, not the vaccines’ The EMA said it would update its guidance on the vaccine to include an explanation for patients about the potential risks and information for healthcare professionals, to help people recognise instances when they may need to seek medical assistance following a vaccination. The processes are working, the safety monitoring that we all expect from our authorities is happening,” Andrew Pollard, who runs the Oxford Vaccine Group, told BBC Radio, after both regulators said vaccinations could continue after reports of blood clots. Germany, France, Italy lift suspensions Germany resumed administering the AstraZeneca vaccine from Friday morning, while French Prime Minister Jean Castex said he would seek to promote a similar resumption in his country by getting the shot himself on Friday.
