PARIS, March 16 (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean
Castex told BFM TV on Tuesday he intends to get an AstraZeneca
Covid-19 vaccine once European health authorities
confirm the jab is safe.
France and other major EU members - including Germany and
Italy - suspended use of AstraZeneca's vaccine on Monday pending
the outcome of investigations into unusual cases of a rare
cerebral thrombosis in people who had received it.
