Johnson & Johnson Inc is to resume the rollout of its single dose vaccine for Covid-19 in Europe following guidance from the European Medicines Agency that the vaccine’s benefits outweigh its risks. Eight cases of unusual blood clots associated with low levels of blood platelets have been identified in the US, one of which was fatal. But set against this, are the more than seven million people who have received the vaccine without serious incident, officials from the EMA said on 20 April, following a safety review.
