There is a “possible link” between Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine and very rare blood clots, the European medicines regulator has said.
But the European Medicines Agency (EMA) concluded the overall benefits of the vaccine “outweigh the risks of side effects”.
The Janssen vaccine is yet to be approved for use in the UK.
Officials have pre-ordered 30 million doses, which are expected to arrive in the second half of 2021 if approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the Government is “confident” about vaccine supply and the news would not derail the UK’s programme to offer a jab to all adults by the end of July.
