EU’s drug regulator backs AstraZeneca vaccine after safety investigation

ondon: Coronavirus-ravaged countries will resume their rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine after Europe’s drug regulator conducted a review that detected no link between the jab and a higher risk of developing blood clots.

In a highly anticipated verdict delivered in Amsterdam, the European Medicines Agency said the benefits of the vaccine in combating COVID-19 far outweighed the risk of side effects.

“This is a safe and effective vaccine,” said Emer Cooke, the regulator’s chief executive.

So if you were feeling "vindicated" because some countries temporarily halted the AZ vaccine......
Well, you can now change your opinion, because those same countries have found it safe.

Learn about the incidence of diseases in the community, then you'll understand why the initial caution shown by those countries was unwarranted.
