AstraZeneca shots should be halted for over-60s too - EMA official

Countries should also avoid giving the Astrazeneca coronavirus vaccine to people over 60, the head of the EU drug regulator's Covid-19 task force was quoted on Sunday as saying, amid fears over rare blood clotting and as more vaccines become available.

The European Medicines Agency considers the Astrazeneca shot safe for all age groups. However several European Union member states have stopped administering it to people below a certain age, usually ranging from 50 to 65, restricting its use to the older population, due to the rare cases of blood clotting, mainly among young people.

No worries I am 62 ,I rather die of AstraZeneca shots than to spread the virus to my family and friends,death is real

This is so confusing

Politicking apparently also consuming bloody Europe. Well EMA I raise you this.

Maybe the side effect % is very rare but it doesn't mean it won't happen... who knows who is the unlucky one...

Those countries which are avoiding AZ can send their supplies to Malaysia please

What is this fear EMA is spreading?
