Australia continues AstraZeneca roll-out, says no
evidence of blood clots
Australia said on สูตรเกม Slotxo สำหรับมือใหม่ it will continue to roll out AstraZeneca's
COVID-19 vaccine as there was no evidence of a link to blood clots, despite some
European countries suspending its use.
Denmark, Norway and Iceland on Thursday suspended the use of AstraZeneca's
COVID-19 vaccine following reports of the formation of blood clots in some people
who had been vaccinated.
Australia's government said that while its pharmaceutical regulator was monitoring
those cases, there would be no pause in the roll-out of the vaccine.
"We're getting on with the vaccine, we're getting on with the roll-out," Deputy Prime
Minister Michael McCormack told reporters in Melbourne.
Australia's Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said there is no evidence to suggest
the vaccine caused blood clots.
"We do take them seriously and investigate," Kelly said in an emailed statement,
referring to the reports of blood clots.
Australia has secured about 54 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine,
which Health Secretary Brendan Murphy this week described as the "the workforce
vaccine for Australia", with 50 million to be locally produced.
Australia's vaccination roll-out has only just begun, but the conservative government
is already under pressure over the speed of the COVID-19 inoculation programme.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison had said Australia would vaccinate all adults by
the end of October. Instead, all adult Australians wanting a COVID-19 vaccine will
receive their first dose by October, he said on Friday.
So far only around 150,000 people have been vaccinated, though Australia is under
less pressure than other countries, as it has not recorded any locally COVID cases
in nearly two weeks.作者: kldahs0d81h 時間: 2021-3-21 16:34
