South Africa halts AstraZeneca vaccine rollout
AstraZeneca vaccine use in Europe
A delivery of 1 million doses of the vaccine developed by the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company vaccine went to 17 EU countries.
A lack of efficacy data on its use in people over 65 has led to several health authorities limiting its use.
Germany s independent Standing Committee on Vaccination (Stiko) recently approved the AstraZeneca for use in people of all ages after new data was released.
However, many AstraZeneca doses are going unused in Germany due to worries that the vaccine is less effective against virus mutations.
South Africa halted the rollout of the vaccine due to a trial showing it was less effective against the South African B.1.351 COVID variant.
