The Medicines Agency in Spain have ruled in favour of suspending the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine after detecting cases of adverse reactions related to thrombosis, and this has been relayed to the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias. After studying the report of the Drug Agencies, they have approached the inter-territorial Health Council for a joint decision in this regard.
The Ministry of Health have announced that it is due to the appearance of these cases of thrombosis and thromboembolism, especially among women, and if the Interterritorial Council decides to suspend the administration of this vaccine, Spain would join the ten countries that have also taken this measure, the last ones being Germany, France and Italy earlier today.
