PARIS, March 16 (Reuters) - French vaccination chief Alain
Fischer said on Tuesday he expects the suspension of
AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine in its inoculation
campaign to be temporary.
Fischer told France Inter radio that the number of cases of
people showing adverse side-effects from the vaccine remained
small.
He also said that the AstraZeneca vaccine was not a
second-tier vaccine.
