The World Health Organization said Friday there was no reason to stop using AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine following several European nations suspended the roll-out over blood clot fears.
The WHO said its vaccines advisory committee was now looking at safety data and worried that no causal connection was established between the vaccine and clotting.
Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Italy and Romania postponed or limited the rollout of AstraZeneca vaccines after isolated reports of recipients developing blood clots.
“AstraZeneca is an excellent vaccine, as are the other vaccines that are being used,” WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told reporters at a briefing in Geneva.
“We have reviewed the data on deaths. There has been no death, thus far, proven to have be caused by vaccination,” she said.
“Yes, we should continue using the AstraZeneca vaccine,” she added, stressing though that”any safety signal has to be investigated.”
“We must always make sure that we look for any security signals when we roll out pathogens, and we have to review them,” she said.
“But there’s no indication to not use it.”
