Venezuela Not to Allow Use of AstraZeneca Vaccine Amid Health Risk Concerns

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) – Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez says her country will not approve the AstraZeneca vaccine against the coronavirus because of concerning side effects.

“Venezuela will not give permission to the AstraZeneca vaccine due to the side effects that have occurred with this vaccine. Orders from President [Nicolas] Maduro,” Rodriguez said at a Monday press conference, as quoted by the NTN24 TV channel.

The UK-Swedish pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca said on Sunday that it had found no evidence of increased risk of blood clots from its COVID-19 vaccine after conducting a review of safety data of over 17 million inoculated people across the European Union and the United Kingdom.

The EMA also said in a separate statement on Monday that it was still investigating the possible link between the AstraZeneca shots and the increased occurrence of blood clots.
