Germany to give different second jab to AZ recipients under 60

Germany announced on March 30 that it would no longer offer the two-dose AstraZeneca vaccine to people under 60 due to concerns over a possible link to rare cases of blood clots.

DPA news agency said ministers agreed at a meeting that people in the younger age group who received a first AstraZeneca dose before the March 30 announcement will be offered either the BioNTechPfizer jab for their second dose, or the Moderna vaccine.

“The solution that has been found will offer a good level of protection,” Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek told DPA.
