Germany Is Latest Country To Suspend AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 Vaccine Over Blood Clots Concerns, WHO Says It’s Safe

Videos Team Latestly|

EU's largest countries joined the list of states halting their rollouts of AstraZeneca jabs on March 15 over blood clot fears. This comes even as the World Health Organization & Europe's medicines watchdog insisted it was safe to use. Both organisations will hold special meetings this week after a host of countries said they would stop using the vaccine pending further review. Three largest EU countries, Germany, Italy & France, all paused rollouts on March 15 & were later joined by Spain, Portugal, Slovenia & Latvia. Indonesia also announced a delay to its rollout of the jab, which is cheaper than its competitors & was billed as the vaccination of choice for poorer nations. But the WHO insisted countries should keep using the vaccine, adding that it had scheduled a meeting of its experts on March 16 to discuss the vaccine's safety. Watch the video to know more.
