France Recommends AstraZeneca Shot for Those 55 and Older

France’s health agency Haute Autorite de la Sante recommended on Friday that AstraZeneca’s vaccine against the coronavirus be limited to people aged from 55 years old, a spokesperson said on the phone, asking not to be identified in line with the agency’s policy.

For those under 55 years old, HAS recommends the use of other vaccines after the European Medicines Agency said that AstraZeneca’s vaccine may increase thrombosis risk even as it is safe and efficient.
