MILAN, June 13 — 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.

“In a pandemic context, our position was and is that the risk-benefit ratio remains favourable for all age groups,” Covid-19 task force chief Marco Cavaleri told the Italian newspaper La Stampa. Asked whether health authorities should avoid giving the Astrazeneca vaccine to people aged over 60, Cavaleri said: “Yes, and many countries, such as France and Germany, are considering it in the light of greater availability of mRNA vaccines.”
