MEXICO CITY Mexican and Brazilian health regulators said on Wednesday they would not limit the use of AstraZeneca s COVID-19 shot after Britain s vaccine advisory committee recommended not using it for people under 30, citing rare blood clot risks. Mexico s drug regulator, Cofepris, said in a statement that it was investigating the information raised by Britain s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) and awaiting further input from Mexico s counterpart. At this time, Cofepris does not plan to limit the use of AstraZeneca vaccines to any age or group, the statement said. Brazil s health regulator, Anvisa, recommended continued use of the vaccines, saying that the benefits outweigh the risks.
