GENEVA/ZURICH, March 15 (Reuters) - The top World Health
Organization scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been
no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines, after several
nations suspended use of AstraZeneca's shot to probe
possible side-effects.
"We do not want people to panic," WHO chief scientist Soumya
Swaminathan said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has
been no association, so far, found between so-called
thromboembolic events reported in some countries and COVID-19
shots.
