AstraZeneca Begins Worldwide Withdrawal of COVID-19 Vaccine

Contact Your Elected Officials

AstraZeneca recently admitted in a UK court document that its shot โ€˜can, in very rare cases, causeโ€™ blood clots and low platelets.

AstraZeneca has commenced a global withdrawal of its COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, citing a โ€œsurplusโ€ of updated jabs for new variants, months after acknowledging its rare risk of serious side effects.

The pharmaceutical giantโ€™s jab, Vaxzevria, is no longer authorized in the European Union as of May 7, after AstraZeneca requested the withdrawal of its โ€œmarketing authorizationโ€ on March 5.

The removal of its authorization comes just weeks after the company admitted in a UK court document that its shot โ€œcan, in very rare cases, causeโ€ blood clots and low platelets, a rare but serious condition known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TSS). The company had originally denied a causal link.

However, AstraZeneca did not cite the admission as contributing to its decision. Instead, it stated that there was now an โ€œoversupply of updated vaccinesโ€ that target new variants of the virus that causes COVID-19.

In a statement to The Epoch Times, AstraZeneca said they โ€œare incredibly proud of the role Vaxzevria played in ending the global pandemic. According to independent estimates, over 6.5 million lives were saved in the first year of use alone and over three billion doses were supplied globally.

โ€œAs multiple, variant COVID-19 vaccines have since been developed there is a surplus of available updated vaccines. This has led to a decline in demand for Vaxzervria, which is no longer being manufactured or supplied. AstraZeneca has therefore taken the decision to initiate withdrawal of the Marketing Authorisations for Vaxzevria within Europe.โ€

UK Class Action

Vaxzevria, a viral vector-based vaccine, was initially authorized for use in the European Union in January 2021.

The European withdrawal follows a similar removal of AstraZenecaโ€™s vaccine from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods weeks ago, on April 23.

The removal in Australia was attributed to a โ€œbusiness decision of the company, due to no current or anticipated future demand of the vaccine, and follows similar business decisions made overseas.โ€
