The changing criteria for the use of Oxford-AstraZeneca in Spain is eroding the trust of the public in the Covid-19 vaccine. This week saw two modifications to the age groups that will receive the shots in the space of just 24 hours, given the fears that the medication could be linked to a tiny number of rare blood clots registered in the inoculation campaign so far.

The previous week such missed appointments only accounted for 3% of the total.
