Which countries have paused their use of the Oxford
/AstraZeneca vaccine?
A host of European countries have put all vaccinations with this jab on hold, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Ireland. Some others such as Estonia and Austria have suspended vaccinations from particular batches of the vaccine.
Why have the vaccinations been paused?
A small number of isolated cases of blood-clotting conditions among those who have received the vaccine have been reported in some countries. These include pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis as well as rarer conditions such as thrombocytopenia, where people do not make enough platelets, and a disorder called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which is a type of blood clot in the brain.
