Local health authorities said that so far no country has yet to confirm a correlation between the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clots, though they are still investigating the matter.

However, this has not stopped more countries in Europe from suspending or temporarily halting vaccines made by AstraZeneca and Oxford University on Monday, including Germany, France and Italy.

A senior official on the local task force in charge of vaccinations said no country has yet to find a link between the vaccines and blood clots, though they are awaiting new findings.

Earlier this month in Austria, authorities suspended the use of a certain batch of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after a person was diagnosed with multiple thrombosis and died 10 days after vaccination.
