"Whilst there are no safety concerns in the paediatric clinical trial, we await additional information from the MHRA [UK regulator] on its review of rare cases of thrombosis/thrombocytopaenia that have been reported in adults, before giving any further vaccinations in the trial," the university said in a statement.
Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is one of many bodies across the globe analysing real world data from the AstraZeneca rollout to see if there is a definitive link between the jab and a rare form of blood clot, after cases were initially reported in Norway and continental Europe.
The European Medicines Agency said it "has not yet reached a conclusion and the review is currently ongoing". The statement came after the EMA's head of vaccine strategy Marco Cavaleri was quoted in Italian media as saying that there was a "clear" connection and that the agency would announce it within hours.
SwanSmirk Irish WHO hero texting on his phone. Rumours, PM Boris Becker left Astra Zenica building with blood clots. Norway stopped administering! They care about their citizens! Ireland probably asked 'can we have your surplus?'
