EU faces new vaccine crisis as confidence in AstraZeneca jab plummets
CGTN Europe • 2m 7s
The EU is facing another vaccine crisis with confidence in jabs falling following the news that AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria vaccine could be linked to the onset of very rare blood clots.
In Spain, confidence in Vaxzevria has nosedived after the government changed its guidance on who can receive the vaccine.
Earlier this week health officials approved its use for those between 60 and 69. Since then, Madrid residents have been reluctant to come forward, with only around 45 percent of those asked confirming their appointments.
