The rollout of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine has been suspended in a several countries including Germany, Italy and France, over concerns about a small number of people experiencing blood clots after having the jab.
The World Health Organization and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have insisted that the shot is safe, and that there is no link between the vaccine and reported blood clots. The EMA said “many thousands of people develop blood clots annually in the EU for different reasons” and said that the number seen in vaccinated people “seems not to be higher than that seen in the general population”.
We’d like to hear from people involved in the vaccine rollout about whether the suspensions have had an impact on public confidence in the vaccine, despite the assurances of health bodies – as well as those who’re being vaccinated.
We’d also like to hear from those in countries where the rollout has been suspended about their thoughts.
