GENEVA, March 18 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization's
vaccine safety panel is now due to issue its findings on the
AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot on Friday, a WHO spokesman
said.
The WHO's global advisory committee on vaccine safety
examined the data on Tuesday and reviewed reports of rare blood
coagulation disorders in people who had received the shot, the
agency has said.
Europe's drug watchdog, which is due to report later on
Thursday, is reviewing a small number of reports of bleeding,
blood clots and low platelet counts in people who have received
AstraZeneca's vaccine.
