The state of North Rhine-Westphalia issued in the evening (March 30, 2021) that the AstraZeneca vaccine may only be used in people over 60 years of age. The background is serious side effects, especially in women under 55 years of age. They reacted quickly to the decree in Düsseldorf, says Hintzsche:
Everyone who has a vaccination appointment should also attend it, Hintzsche continued. Those affected would receive information from the vaccination center. From tomorrow, more vaccine should also come from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
