The suspension of AstraZeneca s coronavirus jab on Monday marks the latest setback for France s vaccination drive.
As with other EU countries, Paris jab rollout has been plagued by shortages and other hurdles.
The latest figures show France has vaccinated 11,029 people per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 39,863 in the UK, Hungary at 17,767 and Denmark with 14,805.
Until the suspension of AstraZeneca s shots, France s pace of vaccination was picking up in March with over 2.9 million shots injected in the first 15 days of the month.
But that doesn t mask over the problems of the rollout. Here we look at the reasons for the delay and what impact the AstraZeneca suspension will have.
