The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said severe allergies should be included in the list of potential side effects associated with AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine.
The severe allergy update is “based on a review of 41 reports of possible anaphylaxis seen among around 5 million vaccinations” in the UK, the agency said.
The EMA is also investigating whether the vaccine caused blood-clotting in patients, and several EU member states have suspended use of the vaccine as a precautionary step.
