DUBLIN, March 19 (Reuters) - Ireland plans to resume its
rollout of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in the
coming days for all those aged 18 and over, the National
Immunisation Advisory Committee said on Friday.
But it said that recipients should be informed that "very
rare, complicated clotting events have been reported in a small
number of people who have recently received the AstraZeneca
vaccine," the committee said in a statement.
Ireland last Sunday halted the rollout on concerns about
blood clots, one of a number of European Union countries to do
so. It is reversing the move after the EU's drug watchdog on
Thursday declared the vaccine safe and effective.
