NIAC has recommended that the administration of the Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccine be temporarily deferred.
Germany, France and Italy today halted use of the vaccine after, on Saturday, Norwegian officials reported further cases of blood clots or brain haemorrhages in younger people who received the jab.
The World Health Organization has said no causal link had been established between the vaccine and blood clotting.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer confirmed the recommendation in a statement this morning.

The World Health Organization has said no causal link had been established between the vaccine and blood clotting.
TV LICENCES SHOULD be abolished and replaced by some form of exchequer funding for RTÉ, a new report has recommended.
The Irish Times yesterday reported that the report by the Future of Media Commission, an independent body set up by the government, proposes the licence fee should be replaced by funding directly sourced by the from the exchequer.
Figures released to The Journal earlier this month under the Freedom of Information Act show that RTÉ spent more than €1 million advertising the TV licence fee on its own television, radio and online channels in the past three years.
Television owners in Ireland must pay a €160 fee every year, which goes towards funding RTÉ’s programming on television and radio, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland’s Sound and Vision scheme, TG4, and An Post (which gets a commission for collecting the fee).
So, today we want to know… Do you pay your TV licence?
