The move comes after the National Immunization Advisory Committee (NIAC) has today recommended the temporary deferral of the administration of the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca.
“The alert followed four new reports of serious, rare thromboembolic (clotting) events, including some complicated by thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) in adults under 65 years of age after vaccination with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca,” the committee said in a statement.
The decision to temporarily suspend use of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine was based on new information from Norway that emerged late last night. This is a precautionary step. The National Immunisation Advisory Comm meets again this morning and we’ll provide an update after that
Ireland’s Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said it was a precautionary step.
