EMA says the benefits of Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine outweigh risks

11 March, 2021

Following the decision by the Danish Health Authority to pause COVID-19 vaccination campaign with the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee PRAC states that the benefits of the vaccine outweighs its risks. The number of thromboembolic events reported in vaccinated people is not much higher than reported in the general population, and so "the vaccine can continue to be administered while investigation of cases of thromboembolic events is ongoing." The EMA will continue to provide updates as the assessment progresses.
