UPDATED. Denmark suspends the Astra Zeneca vaccine and Italy also seizes a batch. The quality control problem
Danish health authorities said Thursday that they temporarily suspend the use of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine as a precaution after some patients have developed blood clots since they received the injection.
The move comes "following reports of serious cases of blood clots among people vaccinated with AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine," the Danish Health Authority said in a statement, which however cautiously added "it has not been determined , at the moment, that there is a link between the vaccine and blood clots ”. The Oxford vaccine is among the numbers that have been used across Europe since it was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Therefore it is a purely precautionary measure.
We remind you that all vaccines have been authorized in an emergency, so the contraindications are constantly evolving.
After 3 deaths from thrombosis in Sicily, AIFA blocked the Astra Zeneca ABV2856 batch in Italy, distributed in 17 European countries. The blockade was imposed after the death of a newly vaccinated young soldier from a heart attack. Waiting for new news, we would like to make a comment: when a production cycle is accelerated to the maximum, it is obvious that something gets out of hand, whatever the sector we are talking about. This is all the more so for the vaccine industry where quality control is essential. While waiting for the vaccine, the possibility of treating people has been lost. We must be careful to want to push a production forward at any cost, because the costs that can be had in terms of quality decay are likely to be very high.
