Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid jab safe, insists Hancock
(AZ вакцина- надежна, настаивает Хэнкок)
The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is safe, the health secretary has said, after some European nations paused its use amid concern over blood clots.
att Hancock urged people to "listen to the regulators" and to "get the jab" as soon as they got the opportunity.
Some 13 countries have suspended use of the vaccine while they seek further clarification on its safety.
But the UK's medicines watchdog, the MHRA, has said that evidence "does not suggest" the jab causes clots.
About 17 million people across the EU and the UK have received a dose of the vaccine, with fewer than 40 cases of blood clots reported as of last week, the manufacturer AstraZeneca said.

It said the number of cases of blood clots reported was lower than the hundreds of cases that would be expected among the general population.
