EMA: AstraZeneca vaccine should be halted for over-60s too

The problem regarding the adenovirus vector is, according to COVID-19 task force chief Marco Cavaleri, "an immune reaction that leads to thrombosis. It has happened especially to young women, but not only"; it would be better to ban AstraZeneca also to the over 60s, and it is "an option that many countries, such as France and Germany, are considering in light of the greater availability of mRNA vaccines".
