WHO says no reason to stop using AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine

The World Health Organization has stated that there is no reason to stop using AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine after several countries suspended the rollout over blood clot fears. 

 

Denmark, Norway and Iceland halted the use of the AstraZeneca jab as a precaution after isolated reports of recipients developing blood clots.

 

Italy and Austria have banned the use of shots from separate batches of AstraZeneca while  Thailand and Bulgaria said they would delay the rollout of the shot.

Many health authorities including the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the WHO have insisted the jab is safe.
