Since a 45-year-old woman died in Austria due to blood clotting, the controversy around the AstraZeneca vaccine has increased even further. South Africa is one of the countries that has suspended its use.
Even with the fact that the vaccine’s producers said the Austrian death was not related to the vaccine, more countries and the World Health Organization (WHO) have called for a study of the vaccine.
The Nigerian government, on the other hand, has raised public concern by claiming that it did not obtain its vaccine from the alleged batch that triggered the blood clot in Austria.
