Spain halts use of AstraZeneca vaccine for 2 weeks - minister

Mon, 15th Mar 2021 18:06

MADRID, March 15 (Reuters) - Spain will stop using
AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine for at least two weeks,
Health Minister Carolina Darias said on Monday, joining a
growing list of European countries hitting the brakes on the
shot over concerns of severe side effects.

Earlier on Monday France, Germany and Italy had joined
Denmark, Norway and several others in halting use of the drug
after reports of blood clots in some patients who had received
the vaccine.
