“Parents and children should continue to attend all scheduled visits and can contact the trial sites if they have any questions.” “On the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, the best thing people should do is look at what the MHRA [Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency] say, our independent regulator – that’s why we have them, that’s why they are independent,” he said.He added: “The best thing of all is to vaccinate our population, get everybody out getting the jab, that’s the key thing and that’s what I would advocate, number one.
The European Medicine Agency said that its safety committee has “not yet reached a conclusion and the review is currently ongoing” but it is expected to announce findings on Wednesday or Thursday. “The appraisal that we have for the moment, and this is under consideration by the experts, is that the benefit-risk assessment for the vaccine is still largely positive.”
