AstraZeneca vaccine suspended in France amid blood clot fears as UK vows it’s safe

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday the country was halting use of the AZ vaccine for just one day because the EMA regulator was expected to give guidance on Tuesday afternoon. He is pictured on February 17German regulators called for further investigation of people who had suffered blood clotting in the days after their jab, according to AP.

The country’s infectious disease agency has acknowledged that the country was now in the grip of a third wave of Covid-19.GERMANY's shambolic vaccine rollout has been beset by production delays, political infighting and a series of PR disasters. And the European Medicines Agency took weeks longer to approve the Pfizer and AstraZeneca jabs, leaving all EU nations weeks behind Britain and the US.

“We are closely reviewing reports but given the large number of doses administered, and the frequency at which blood clots can occur naturally, the evidence available does not suggest the vaccine is the cause.”The Prime Minister was asked during a visit to Coventry for his views on the situation. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said there was “no evidence” that blood clots are any more likely to occur following vaccination.
