The European Medicines Agency announced tonight (Thursday) that the vaccine against the corona virus, which is manufactured by the company Astraznica, is safe to use. Their announcement said that the vaccine is “safe and effective”, and that its benefit outweighs the risk of taking it. The announcement came amid reports in several European countries that blood clots had appeared in vaccinated people. In addition, said Cook, the chair of the European Medicines Agency, said it could not be ruled out at this stage that there was a link between the cases and the vaccines and that the issue was still under investigation.
As mentioned earlier today, a medical agency in Denmark reported ten cases of blood clot outbreak or other symptoms as a side effect of the Astrazenka corona vaccine. Authorities in the UK have also reported that five cases of a rare type of blood clot have been detected in the country, in humans who took the vaccine for Astrazenka’s corona. Despite this, the use of the vaccine will continue across the country.
Denmark and the United Kingdom join a list of many countries that have reported dangerous side effects as a result of the vaccine provided by the company, and some have even banned its use.
Astrazenka announced four days ago that a review of the data among more than 17 million people who had been vaccinated against corona in the opening vaccine showed no evidence of an increased risk of developing blood clots. The test was conducted after a number of countries suspended the use of the company’s vaccine due to blood clotting problems among the vaccinated.
