According to the company, the reason for the withdrawal is commercial.
Pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca’s corona vaccine is being withdrawn from the market worldwide.
The company admitted some time ago that the vaccine could have dangerous side effects in some cases.
According to the company, withdrawing the vaccine from the market is a completely commercial solution. The company relies on the fact that there are plenty of alternatives for the corona vaccine from other manufacturers.
There was a lot of talk about the side effects of the Astra Zeneca corona vaccine during the corona pandemic.
Last year, Astra Zeneca was taken to court in the UK after a woman who received the pharmaceutical giant’s vaccine died.
A 2022 study, on the other hand, found that Astra Zeneca’s vaccine increased risk of blood clots. Before that, in 2021, the EU Medicines Agency had assured that the vaccine in question is completely safe and effective.
In Finland, the health and welfare institution THL suspended the use of AstraZeneca’s corona vaccine as a precautionary measure in mid-March 2021, when two rare cases of cerebral vein thrombosis were reported to Fimea, the safety and development center for the pharmaceutical industry.
In Finland, it was reported in the spring of 2021 about the casewhere a person has died of a cerebral vein occlusion after receiving the vaccine.
Administering Astra Zeneca vaccines to people under the age of 65 was stopped at the end of March 2021.
They talked about the topic earlier Telegraph and Hufvudstadsbladet.
