(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 26 - WHO's position on the AstraZeneca vaccine does not change: "the benefits outweigh the risks".
The deputy director general of the UN agency, Mariangela Simao, said in the usual briefing from Geneva on the coronavirus.
The WHO and EMA experts, he explained, are however continuing to study the potential link between the vaccine and "a very rare side effect that could happen to one in a million".
