Slovakia suspends use of the AstraZeneca jab for first-time vaccinations

Slovakia has suspended the use of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 jab for first-time vaccinations.
"People who are waiting for the second dose of this vaccine are currently being vaccinated with Astra Zeneca,"
"The Ministry of Health is currently considering several alternatives for how we will proceed in this matter in Slovakia.
"We are completing all expert opinions and will follow up on this later this week.
The decision comes after the country's State Institute for Drug Control (ŠÚKL) ruled that the death of a 47-year-old woman was likely connected to the jab.
In a statement,
issued on Friday, ŠÚKL said that it had determined the cause of death to be related to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a blood clotting disorder that sees clots form in the veins that drain blood from the brain.
