AstraZeneca Withdraws Covid Vaccine Globally Citing Low Demand | Vantage with Palki Sharma

AstraZeneca has initiated the worldwide withdrawal of its Covid vaccine citing a lack of demand. This decision comes just weeks after the pharma giant admitted in court documents that its Covid vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause TTS (Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome). This rare blood clotting condition is characterised by blood clots (thrombosis) and low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). In the UK, the company is facing multiple lawsuits alleging that its vaccine caused deaths. AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine, Vaxzevria was one of the first vaccines to be produced during the pandemic. In India, the Serum Institute of India (SII), which produced AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine under the brand name Covishield, stopped manufacturing and supply of the doses since December 2021.
