The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “AstraZeneca: French Health Minister tells under-55s to get different vaccine” – below is their description.
France’s Health Minister, Olivier Véran, says people under age 55 who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine should get a different vaccine for their second shot because of an extremely rare risk of a blood clotting disorder.
At the same time, French authorities insisted Friday that the AstraZeneca vaccine is safe, and they continued recommending it for older populations, as the country’s hospitals battle a new surge in virus patients.
More than half a million French people under 55 received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine before reports of rare blood clots emerged.
Since March 19, France has only offered the vaccine to those over 55.
