Finland will pause the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine for at least a week following two reports of blood clots in patients who had received the jab, the country's health authority announced Friday. The THL health authority "has decided to suspend giving the AstraZeneca vaccine in Finland until there is more information about the case and possible causality can be evaluated," it said in a statement, a day after Europe's medicines regulator concluded the vaccine was "safe and effective". sgk/po/mjs
