(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 15 - Italian drugs agency AIFA suspended the use of the jab across the country on Monday as a precautionary measure pending a ruling from the European Medicines Agency, in line with several other countries.
The decision was taken after talks between Premier Mario Draghi and Health Minster Roberto Speranza, ministry sources said.
Speranza voiced confidence that EMA will "clear things up as soon as possible".
AIFA said it would in due course issue instructions for people who have had the first shot in order to complete the cycle.
