Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “What’s the future of the Astrazeneca vaccine? | Inside Story” – below is their description.
A growing number of European countries are suspending the Oxford-Astrazeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
There are concerns the jab may have caused some recipients to develop blood clots.
But health agencies say there is no evidence such conditions are linked to the vaccine.
And they insist the benefits outweigh any potential risk.
This comes as Europe is already short on vaccine supplies and struggling to contain a surge in new infections.
The European Medicines regulator and the World Health Organization are now investigating the possible side effects.
But as new cases surge – how will this affect Euorpe’s vaccination rollout?
