PARIS, March 16 (Reuters) - French Health Minister Olivier
Veran said on Tuesday that he expected a verdict from the
European scientific community on AstraZeneca's COVID-19
vaccine on Thursday that would allow the inoculation campaign to
resume as soon as possible.
Veran also told reporters that the risk-reward ratio for the
vaccine remained positive.
"We expect some kind of verdict from the European scientific
community by Thursday afternoon, allowing us to resume the
campaign," Veran said.
