AstraZeneca vaccine withdrawal
On Wednesday, the company stated that it had started the process of withdrawing its vaccine globally because there are now too many other updated vaccines available due to the ongoing pandemic. The company explained, “Since several different COVID-19 vaccines have been created, there is now an excess of updated vaccines that are ready to be used.” AstraZeneca started focusing on making vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus. It is also focusing on developing drugs for obesity. They made some agreements last year because their sales of COVID-19 medicine went down. According to the Telegraph, the company asked to take back the vaccine from the European Union on March 5th. It officially happened on May 7th.
