European Medicines Agency has said that AstraZeneca
coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective. European Medicines Agency's
safety committee said this yesterday after concluding its preliminary
review of people vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca. This
comes after several countries temporarily suspended use of the vaccine
over fears about side effects. The European Medicines Agency said that
the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of
blood clots in those who receive it and there is no evidence of a
problem related to specific batches of the vaccine or to particular
manufacturing sites.
Earlier, the World Health Organization had reaffirmed its support for
the shot. Meanwhile, Germany, France and other European nations have
announced plans to resume using AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine on after
EU and British regulators moved to shore up confidence in the shot,
saying its benefits outweigh the risks.
Within hours, Germany said it would resume administering the AstraZeneca
vaccine from today, France too said it would resume use of the
vaccine, with Prime Minister Jean Castex saying he would receive the
shot himself this afternoon.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said Italy would do the same, and that his government’s priority remained to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible.
