The World Health Organization is calling for her to be given the AstraZeneca vaccine

Today, Tuesday, he said that countries that want to spread the AstraZeneca vaccine are "very interested" in obtaining it, including countries participating in the United Nations-backed "Cofax" program, which aims to spread vaccines in countries that need them most, whether they are rich or poor.

He also explained that “the problem is not in weak demand, quite the contrary. If there are any countries that have concerns or are not fully using a vaccine ... make it available to Kovacs because we have a long list of countries that are very, very interested in using the AstraZeneca vaccine.”

He added, “We simply cannot be satisfied with it.” He also said that the positive results of clinical trials on the vaccine in the United States, Chile and Peru “gave us new confidence and demand for the vaccine.”

More benefits

She explained at the time that the data indicated that there was no increase in blood clots after the AstraZeneca vaccine, according to what its experts concluded on Friday, after they reviewed the safety data related to the possibility of it causing blood clots.

In addition, the organizing committee reported Advisory Regarding the safety of vaccines, AstraZeneca “remains positive in terms of its benefits versus its risks, with tremendous potential to prevent injuries and reduce deaths worldwide.”

On Friday, nearly 12 countries resumed vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine, after two regulatory bodies from the European Union and Britain said that its benefits outweigh any risks, following reports of rare cases of clots, which led to a temporary suspension of the use of the vaccine.
