NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) Cypriot health authorities on Wednesday advised people aged under 50 to use the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines that are based on the newer, mRNA technology.
The Health Ministry said the decision came after a majority recommendation by its panel of scientific advisers on COVID-19, following “reports of serious incidents concerning blood clots.”
It didn t provide further details. Cypriot media have reported extensively on the death of a 39-year-old woman allegedly from a brain hemorrhage about two weeks after she received an AstraZeneca shot, although it wasn’t clear whether the jab was actually linked with her death.
