Germany’s health minister says the country’s independent vaccine committee has formally approved giving the AstraZeneca shot to people aged 65 and over.

German Health Minister Jens Spahn delivers his speech during a debate of the German Parliament Bundestag about the coronavirus outbreak situation in Berlin, Germany, Thursday, March 4, 2021.

The decision is “good news for older people who are waiting for a vaccination," said the minister, Jens Spahn."They will get vaccinated faster.” But the publication of new data on its effectiveness and pressure to speed up the EU's slow vaccine rollout has prompted authorities across the bloc to revise their stances.
