The European Medicines Agency says the overall benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.
In a statement, the EMA says it took into consideration all the data currently available, with eight reports of serious cases of unusual blood clots in the US, one of whom died.

The cases reviewed were very similar to the cases that occurred with the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca.
