Britons still back AstraZeneca jab

Britons still back the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine - as 75 per cent tell pollsters they consider it to be safe. Officials have launched a campaign to maintain confidence in jabs after medical regulators advised that under-30s should be offered an alternative to the Oxford inoculation amid blood clot fears.  And, as the Health Secretary looked to dispel concern by insisting that spotting rare side effects shows the safety system is working, a poll revealed that 75 per cent of Britons think the vaccine is safe to use. While the results by YouGov show a drop of two percentage points since March, it ranks close to opinions of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which 78 per cent dubbed safe, The Times reports.
