THE EU has made a major U-turn on the suspension of the Oxford jab with its regulator today saying it's "safe and effective".
Emer Cooke, executive director of the EMA, said their "clear scientific conclusion" is that the vaccine is "safe and effective".
She said: "Its benefits in protecting people from Covid-19, with the associated risks of death and hospitalisation, outweigh the possible risks.
"The committee also concluded that the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of thromboembolic events, or blood clots."
More than a dozen EU nations have halted its use over unsubstantiated fears it may trigger blood clots.
Mrs Cooke added: "We are very much aware that some member states have paused vaccinations, waiting for EMA's outcome of a review.
"Given that thousands of people in the EU die every day - in fact over 2,500 were reported one day last week - it really was crucial for EMA to review rapidly and thoroughly all the available evidence, so we made this review our highest priority."
"We are delivering on that promise today and our responsibility is to come to a conclusion as to whether the benefits outweigh the risks of the vaccines so that countries can make an uniformed decision and increase trust int eh vaccine."
