WARSAW, March 15 (Reuters) - The benefits of using
AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine are bigger than the
risks, Poland's health minister said on Monday, after a number
of countries suspended use of the shot due to concerns about
side effects.
"At the moment we still believe that... the benefits from
vaccination in terms of the increase in public safety are much
bigger than possible risks from taking the AstraZeneca vaccine,"
Adam Niedzielski told a press conference.
