Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands became the latest countries to pause the rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Monday. Norway, Denmark and Bulgaria suspended their programmes last week over concerns the jab may cause blood clots
The suspensions came as the WHO urged nations not to pause AstraZeneca inoculation programmes.
European Medicines Agency said it was investigating instances of blood clots and has called an extraordinary meeting for Thursday “to conclude on the information gathered and any further actions that may need to be taken”.
