European countries offer an additional explanation on the protection of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine amid complaints about its resolution to stop the vaccine.
France, Germany, Spain and Italy said they were awaiting an investigation through eu regulator on clot reports on a small number of recipients.
But EU members, as well as Poland and Belgium, continue to use it.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) will make its findings known on Thursday.
On Tuesday, the EMA said it was still “firmly convinced” of the benefits of the drug AstraZeneca. Its leader, Emer Cooke, noted that known blood clots in some countries were not unusual in the general population.
“I need to tighten right now that there is no indication that vaccination of those conditions,” he said.
In a set later on Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said ema’s comments were “encouraging. “
Meanwhile, experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) also met on Tuesday, but a spokesman presses that “there is no evidence” that reported blood clots are vaccine-related.
WHO has suggested to countries that they do not stop their vaccines, which occur at a time when Europe is experiencing an increase in cases.
In the UK, more than 11 million more people have already won at least one dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and there have been no symptoms of excessive death or blood clots.
Some thirteen European countries have discontinued the use of the vaccine. Denmark, the first, passed through Norway and Iceland. Germany, France, Italy, Cyprus, Spain, Latvia and Sweden are the last to stick.
On Monday, the 3 largest members of the EU, Germany, France and Italy said they were waiting for the effects of the EMA investigation before deciding to resume the jab deployment.
They said they had opted for their use of the drug as a “precautionary measure. “
“We are waiting for some kind of verdict from the European clinical network until Thursday afternoon, to allow us to resume the campaign,” French Health Minister Olivier Véran said Tuesday.
“There have been some very disturbing cases justifying this pause and analysis,” French immunologist Alain Fischer told France Inter, who heads a government advisory council. “It’s not a waste of time. “
In Germany, the Ministry of Health also reported a small number of rare blood clots among other people vaccinated to justify its decision and postponed a summit on expanding vaccine deployment before the expected EMA announcement on Thursday.
There is still no evidence that the specified clots were related to the vaccine, and the EMA stated that other points were most likely the cause of the incidents.
Other countries, including Austria, have stopped certain batches of the drug AstraZeneca, while Belgium, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine have said they will continue to administer the vaccine.
The resolution to prevent the launch of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been criticized by some politicians and doctors.
Karl Lauterbach, German epidemiologist and fitness spokesman for centre-left Social Democrats, said that while the rupture is justifiable, it is also political.
“I would even get vaccinated now with AstraZeneca. According to the incidents we are experiencing now, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, especially for the elderly,” Deutschlandfunk told the radio.
A spokeswoman for Germany’s Lax Democrats said the resolution had delayed the entire deployment of vaccination in the country. German Green fitness expert Janosch Dahmen argued that the government may have simply continued to use the drug.
And the head of vaccination in Poland, Michal Dworczyk, said that countries that had suspended their use of the drug “had succumbed to panic through media policy of alleged complications. “
The intense divisions around AstraZeneca’s coup occur at a time when much of the continent is suffering from a buildup of coronavirus cases.
This accumulation has led many countries to tighten restrictions, and the speed of the vaccination crusade in Europe, which has already been affected by source shortages, is a concern.
German infections are expanding “exponentially,” with a 20% increase last week, a public fitness company RKI warned Tuesday.
During his stay in France, Prime Minister Jean Castex said the widespread prevalence of 3 variants of Covid-19 meant that the country is now in “a third wave type. “
“The epidemic continues,” the parliament said Tuesday.
Norway’s capital, Oslo, has announced stricter restrictions, while Italy and the Netherlands have blockades.
Some 575,000 more people in the European Union have died as a result of coronaviruses, and the pandemic has come at a high economic price.
