Oxford University pauses Covid vaccine trial for children and teens over blood clot fears

THE University of Oxford has paused trials of the AstraZeneca vaccine on children and teenagers over concerns about blood clots.

The PM toured the plant as ministers reassured people to continue taking the AZ shot while the medicines watchdog probes "very rare" cases of blood clots in some younger recipients.Regulators in the UK and the European Union have both stated the AstraZeneca vaccine is "safe and effective", while they carry out ongoing reviews.

"Parents and children should continue to attend all scheduled visits and can contact the trial sites if they have any questions.” Speaking to Italy's Il Messaggero newspaper, the EMA's head of vaccines Marco Cavaleri said it is not yet clear what is causing blood clots from the jab.
