[Breaking] European Medicines Agency: "Rare Link Between AZ Vaccine and Thrombosis"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] A senior official from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) made remarks suggesting a causal relationship between the COVID-19 vaccine developed by the multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca (AZ) and the University of Oxford in the UK, and the rarely reported thrombosis cases.

Marco Cavaleri, head of vaccine strategy at EMA, stated in an interview with the Italian daily Il Messaggero published on the 6th (local time), "It is becoming increasingly difficult to say that there is no causal relationship between the AZ vaccine and the very rare reported unusual thrombosis."

He explained, "In my opinion, it is clear that (these symptoms) are related to the vaccine," but added, "We still do not know what causes this reaction."
