EMA boss Emer Cooke on AstraZeneca vaccine: 'At present there is no indication vaccination has caused these conditions. We’re still firmly convinced the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risk of side-effects.' Its evaluation into the jab's safety will conclude on Thursday.
EMA boss Emer Cooke: 'We are looking at adverse events associated with all vaccines. We have looked at the background rates for all the vaccines currently in circulation and it looks like there are similar numbers coming in across the world.'
EMA boss Emer Cooke: 'The decisions that are taken at a national level are being taken in the context of the information that’s available at national level, and it's the countries’ prerogative to do so. It’s our responsibility to focus on the science associated with these risks.'
EMA boss Emer Cooke says 'we are worried that there may be an effect on the trust of the vaccines' as a result of EU countries' decisions to suspend use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
EMA boss Emer Cooke says that on 'the implication that there might be something other than science behind this review, I want to firmly put on record that our evaluation is guided by science and independence and nothing but.'
