GENEVA, March 15, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Countries should continue using the
AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine for now, the World Health Organization said
Monday, after a number of nations halted its use over blood clot fears.
“We do not want people to panic and we would, for the time being,
recommend that countries continue vaccinating with AstraZeneca,” WHO chief
scientist Soumya Swaminathan told a press briefing.
“So far, we do not find an association between these events and the
vaccine.”
