The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine taskforce of Ireland has recommended the temporary suspension of the use of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) made the recommendation on Sunday, following reports of blood clots in adults who received the shot.
“The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) has recommended that the administration of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca be temporarily deferred from this morning,” Ireland’s deputy chief medical officer Ronan Glynn said in a statement.
He said the recommendation has been made “on the precautionary principal” after “a report from the Norwegian Medicines Agency of four new reports of serious blood clotting events in adults after vaccination”.
