i'm feel girl welcome to the program at a news conference european medicines agency will start in the next few minutes ahead of that will join d w a brussels correspondent marina strauss. welcome arena what do you were expecting. well we'd sussed received a press release by the european medicines agency with the latest news and i quote them here they say they found possible a possible link to their e rare cases of unusual blood clots with low plot pellet so they actually confirm that there is a risk in receiving these like in get blood clots after getting vaccinated with an astra zeneca that scene i mean we have to mention here that tens of millions of people all around europe and rather the globe have received their 1st shots or even the 2nd shot off the estrus attic of the casino yet and only a couple of cases these rare blood clots occurred and now the new thing is that the european medicines agency actually confirms that this might or this is related to the ester said it to us resident of a scene ok and just to be clear of this they will get the full word from the a.m.a. the next

the european union's drug regulator the european medicines agency says after a safety assessment of the astra zeneca vaccine they are still encouraging people to get it that's despite finding a $169.00 cases of a rare brain blood clot after $34000000.00 doses the agency says while no clear link has been found they believe the clots are caused by any means response as a result the regulator will be listing the clots as a rare side effect of the astra zeneca vaccine this vaccine has proven to be highly effective if it prevents if severe to fifty's and hospitalized patients and it is saving lives vaccination is extremely important in helping us in the fight against cope at 19 and we need to use the back scenes we have to protect us from the devastating effects to my media it comes as u.k. authorities recommend that the astra zeneca vaccine should not be given to adults under 30 where possible but again they stress the continued use of the vaccine our review has reinforced that the risk of this rare suspected side effect remains extremely small. the drug maker itself says the bottom line of

the european medicines agency has come to — one. the european medicines agency has come to the _ one. the european medicines agency has come to the same _ one. the european medicines agency has come to the same conclusion - i has come to the same conclusion — there is a possible link between the astrazeneca vaccine and very rare blood clots. mostly and women under 60. several eu countries have already restricted the astrazeneca vaccine to older adults. france to those over 55, germany to those over 60. scientists who analyse risks say this changes course —— change of course should not put people off getting the vaccine. , ., . . , vaccine. this vaccine is extraordinarily - vaccine. this vaccine is i extraordinarily effective. i vaccine. this vaccine is - extraordinarily effective. i know will be — extraordinarily effective. i know will be tragic _ extraordinarily effective. i know will be tragic if _ extraordinarily effective. i know will be tragic if this _ extraordinarily effective. i know will be tragic if this led - extr

and perhaps you know and i guess in the way of saying it break ranks with the european medicines agency because this isn't about politics this is about saving lives it's about medicine in saving lives and we know that hungary for instance we've seen it is used in serbia in the i'm sure that other countries will follow like in the history of the national. agency we'll look into the it and then decide where the can be used in the what do you what can you tell us though about the general sentiment in austria regarding this so this vast european inoculation program is there any sense of hesitancy or distrust even with the various pfizer astra zeneca even the russian v. is there a sense of mistrust perhaps. yeah there are some problems with the us they were a big scene because we saw this the bulls are burned however we are able to deal with it and it does it a rare effect therefore we are still using nukes in the main problem is that europe didn't or that enough in power i'm we would need more work seen now in or the blacks in it the population in the short period of time and that's not pos

the european medicines agency are looking at that. it is closely related to how astrazeneca's vaccine works, modified cold virus, administered a few weeks apart. it is similar to the johnson & johnson vaccine. what unites these different vaccines is they are all based on modified cold virus is used as trojan horses to smuggle into the body the coronavirus coat, message. what is happening with astrazeneca's vaccine, with this rare complication, it could also affect the johnson & johnson vaccine. it could affect the russian vaccine. we have not seen the data. we have not seen the follow-up on millions of people who have had it. that may yet emerge. it may be we see the same trend. we will have to watch this space. >> what does this leave the eu? it is grappling with a third wave of infections, death tolls far behind vaccinating large terms of their society, they have been grappling with ways to find new vaccines. could this be the moment of reckoning? >> the timing is not great. there is a third wave across the continent. there are more

the european medicines agency looking at that vaccine it's also very closely related to how astra zeneca has vaccine works it's a modified cold virus in fact it's a pair of cold viruses which are administered a few weeks apart it's also very similar to the johnson and johnson vaccine that's also still waiting for approval in the u.k. what unites all these different vaccines is they're all based on modified cold viruses which they used as trojan horses to smuggle into the body the corona virus coat message and therefore what is happening with astra zeneca is vaccine with this rare complication albeit at very low levels it could also affect the johnson and johnson vaccine it could also affect the russian bank scene we haven't seen the data yet we haven't seen the follow up on millions of people who have had it like that had the astra zeneca back seen and that may yet emerge so it may well be that so we see the same trend emerging with these other products subsequently we'll have to watch this space china what does this leave the its grappling with a 3rd wave of covert 19 a spike in infecti

vaccine before it gets approval from the european medicines agency the czech president the man made the announcement he was also critical of the slow pace at which the e.m.e.a. approval for the sputnik v. vaccine has taken if the decision on sputnik the registration is made by our national regulator it will be enough to start using it as happened in hungary as for the european medicines agency it is very slow well new infections in the czech republic have started to relent in recent days that's following the country being gripped by a 3rd wave of the covert 19 pandemic now a recent poll showed that just under half of the czech citizens who were asked the question said that they would take the sputnik the vaccine without a.m.a. approval as long as health authorities from prague had given a green light now just over the border in austria they're a little further along when it comes to getting sputnik into the country negotiations that have been going on for a little while were concluded over the weekend between vienna and moscow for the purchase of sputnik the vaccine the austrian chancel

once the european medicines agency has given it the green light germany could have to set up its own deal of course because the e.u. commission joint procurement mechanism has already said they're not going to buy sputnik v. as it stands at the moment there's also been some comment from france when it comes to that announcement from germany last week the french foreign minister saying he thought that was a bit of a p.r. stunt designed to. give confidence to the local markets here in germany of course we have an election coming up in september he thought that was a bit of politicking from yen's spawn but he also said that he wouldn't rule out taking any vaccine based on where it came from said if it's a good vaccine it's a good vaccine but when it comes to the all important a.m.a. approval well sputnik the start of being looked at by the european medicines agency on the 5th of march we're expecting that process to run through perhaps as long as the end of may once it gets the green light of course it can then be used all across the european union. and moving on the us city of minneapo

from the european medicines agency. that's asher this is spin a story that's been percolating you could say for several weeks and months now. we wait for an announcement on just how safe this vaccine is just give us a sense of why it's so important to find out which vaccines countries in europe should be using. well it's very important because of course the european medical agency governments across europe need to convince their public that the vaccines they are using are safe i should just say as the we are waiting for that press and that press conference by the european medical agency on the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine but there are some reports coming out already that suggest that what we might hear from the may is that they have indeed found some links between the astra zeneca vaccine and rare forms of blood clots however on balance we understand that the m.d.m.a. is expected to say that the benefits of the astra zeneca vaccine outweigh the risks and what they would mean by that is something that many doctors

but still dangerous the european medicine is agency says the astra zeneca vaccine for covert 19 is linked to blood clots but it insists the benefits outweigh the risks so should people be wary it this is the inside story. hello welcome to the program. many countries have been relying on the vaccine to get them out of the corona virus pandemic crisis but there have been problems from supply side effects european regulators say the vaccine can in cases cause blood clots the u.k.'s to turn out to young people who appear to be at more risk both the u.k. and say they're still confident in the senate vaccines effectiveness and safety. there have been fewer than 80 cases reported in the u.k. despite more than 20000000 being given out but even so that's caused a reaction there reported cases of unusual blood clotting following vaccination with the astra zeneca vaccine should be listed as possible side effects of the vaccine based on the current available evidence specific risk factors such as age gender or previous medical history of clotting disorders have not been able to be confirmed as the ra

adjudicated separately by the european medicines agency. well germany is not the 1st country to negotiate with russia bilaterally it wouldn't be also the 1st country in europe to to have this vaccine and use it but that it depends a sensually on whether it is approved by the may the european medicines agency does some of the german health minister stressed today in an interview that is the precondition if germany is going to enter into those negotiations and also stress that for that to happen russia has to provide complete data to the european agency in order for the european agency to evaluate whether the vaccine can be approved if that happens in germany were discussed all the details with russia other german health minister stressed that some of the key elements that it wants to discuss to discuss with russia is when and exactly how many dollars it could deliver to germany the german goal here as according to the german health minister is to have vaccines by russia so that's put the vaccines in the next 2 to 5 months but once again and
