While in Hego Euskal Herria it is being decided whether AstraZeneca is also going to be vaccinated for those over 55 years of age – they have already started vaccinating groups under that year – first in Denmark and then in other countries, the vaccination campaign of this company has been temporarily suspended until it is clear whether there are several "serious cases of thrombosis" in the Balti country.
The health officials in Denmark have explained that they have taken the decision because they want to "act responsibly", although this will affect the rate of vaccination of the population. They await the investigation by the European Medicines Agency (SEA), which has initiated an investigation.
However, it has been emphasized that thrombosis cases are "scarce" and also occur in other situations, "which do not represent a greater amount than expected in the general population". Thus, this agency does not see the need for provisional measures.
Austria and Italy, for their part, have suspended a vaccine for this vaccine, after two serious cases that could be related to influenza a were detected in Gaza. Several media have reported that the vaccines in this package have been distributed in ten countries, including Spain and France.
