“Based on new information, the Dutch Medicines Authority advised, as a precautionary measure and pending further investigation, to suspend the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine” against covid-19, the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
“The crucial question is whether these are complaints after vaccination or because of vaccination. There should be no question about vaccines “Health Minister Hugo de Jonge said, quoted in the statement.
“We have to be cautious, and that is why the sensible thing to do now is to press the pause button, as a precaution,” he added.
Norway, like Iceland or Denmark, announced on Thursday that it was suspending the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, also as a “precaution”, due to fears related to the formation of blood clots in people vaccinated with the immunizer.
Bulgaria followed suit on Friday and Thailand delayed its immunization campaign with that product.
However, in Holland no similar case has been detected, the ministry clarified, which advised people who were vaccinated with this product to contact their doctor if they develop “unexpected and / or unknown” symptoms after three days.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that there are “no reasons not to use” the vaccine developed by the British laboratory AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford.
