Germany is resuming vaccinations with the coronavirus vaccine made by AstraZeneca, following a recommendation by European regulators that the benefits of the jab outweigh the risks.

The European Medicines Agency said on Thursday that the vaccine is safe – but added that it cannot rule out a link to a small number of rare blood clots reported on the continent, and patients should be told to look out for any warning signs.
