European regulator says benefits of AstraZeneca jab outweigh risks

March 16, 2021 by News Desk

Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “European regulator says benefits of AstraZeneca jab outweigh risks” – below is their description.

The EU’s medicines regulator has said that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine should continue to be used because its benefits far outweigh its risks.
A final ruling is expected on Thursday, but the European Medicines Agency has been alarmed that at least 12 European nations have suspended the use of the vaccine after a small number of cases, some of them fatal, of blood clots among people who have received the AstraZeneca jab.
The EMA pointed out that it believed this was purely coincidental.
