PARIS, March 11 (Reuters) - French Health Minister Olivier
Veran said on Thursday that French health authorities see no
reason to suspend the use of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccinations.
"The benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine are higher than the
risks," Veran said at the goverment's weekly coronavirus
briefing.
Health authorities in Denmark, Norway and Iceland on
Thursday suspended the use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19
vaccine shots following reports of the formation of blood clots
in some people who had been vaccinated.
