AstraZeneca (AZN.US) Ceases Sale of Covid Vaccine Globally

AstraZeneca (AZN.US)      said it has begun to stop selling its Covid vaccine Vaxzevria globally and will retract the marketing authorisation for the vaccine in Europe, as a result of the development of several vaccines against mutated Covid viruses and a surplus of available boosters, which has led to a decline in demand for Vaxzevria.

According to previous reports, AstraZeneca admitted in court documents that the vaccine can cause side effects such as blood clots and low platelet counts.
