The temporary suspension of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine last week threatened to throw another spanner into the machinery of a vaccine programme that has gotten off to a slow start. What do the numbers say?
The German Health Ministry announced on Thursday that a total of 13 cases of cerebral thrombosis have been reported following the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, while the number of fatalities remains at three.
Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Latvia have called for a EU summit to discuss "huge disparities" in the distribution of vaccines, according to a letter published Saturday.
