SEOUL: North Korea has rejected planned shipments of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine that were being organised under the global COVAX distribution scheme due to concerns over side effects, a South Korean think tank said on Friday .

According to the report by the Institute for National Security Strategy , which is affiliated with South Korea's spy agency, Pyongyang is now looking at other vaccine options. The INSS report also said North Korea is not keen on Chinese vaccines due to concerns they may not be that effective, but it has shown interest in shots made in Russia, hoping they would be donated free of charge.
