European countries will continue to use the vaccine produced by AstraZeneca. Vaccination with AstraZeneca will be resumed in Germany and France today. The decision to re-use the drug was made by Italy, Cyprus, Spain, Latvia, and Lithuania; Reuters spreads the information. To boost citizens' trust in the vaccine, Jean Castex, the Prime Minister of France, will be vaccinated publicly.
European countries decided to resume vaccination with AstraZeneca after the European Medicines Agency published the report.
"This is a completely safe and effective vaccine," the agency's director, Emer Cooke, told a briefing.
In some European countries, the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine has temporarily stopped due to the detection of thromboembolic processes in vaccinated patients.
