On Friday, British experts recommended using Oxford COVID-19 alternatives for people who are under the age of 40s.

Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) reviewed the link between the vaccine and blood clotting possibility. The figures showed that it is rare.

Vaccinating people who are in their 30s is conducted by various kinds of vaccines such as Moderna and Pfizer.

Concerns of the possibility of forming blood clots are still high, especially in the light of several leaders. Many countries restricted the use of the vaccine only for people aged 60 years old or above.

Furthermore, Denmark has dropped using AstraZeneca from its vaccination program and decided to redistribute its share with another countries.
