Norway, Sweden and Denmark will continue a pause for AstraZeneca vaccines for Covid-19, despite the conclusion of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) that the vaccine is "safe and effective". All three countries said they were considering the EMA decision that says the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks. Meanwhile other countries are planning to resume vaccination with AstraZeneca.
Italy, France, Germany and Spain said Thursday they plan to resume AstraZeneca vaccines following the EMA statement.
The Covid-19 vaccine produced by AstraZeneca is "safe and effective" and above all its use should be continued. This was the decision taken by the European Medicines Agency after detailed analysis and review regarding the blood clot that was said to be caused by the use of this vaccine.
The agency's executive director, Emer Cooke, stated that there was no evidence that the cases in question, which she said were "very rare", were caused by the vaccine.
