EU regulator says blood clotting is a 'very rare AstraZeneca side effect'

BBC World Service - Newshour, EU regulator says blood clotting is a 'very rare AstraZeneca side effect'

The regulator said the benefit of the vaccine outweighs the risk

The regulator said the benefit of the vaccine outweighs the risk.

The European Medicines Agency says unusual blood clots should be listed as a very rare side effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine for Covid-19.  The UK's vaccine advisory body in its own press conference said under-30s would be offered an alternative jab to AstraZeneca. Also in the programme: we'll hear from Hungary's government spokesman about the country's decision to ease Covid-19 restrictions despite some doctors saying it's too early; and not even kryptonite could stop Superman's first appearance in a comic book from breaking records.
