A British trial of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine on children has been paused while regulators assess its possible link to blood clots, said Oxford University, which helped develop the jab |

"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.
