German Vaccine Authority to Recommend Only Over-60s Get AstraZeneca Shot

 Germany's vaccine authority will recommend the government ban the AstraZeneca PLC Covid-19 vaccine for people younger than 60, an official at the country's disease control agency said.

The move could set back Germany's already sputtering vaccine program by several months. The final decision rests with the federal government, but local authorities were already anticipating a ban on Tuesday by withholding the shot for younger recipients.

The decision to change the current recommendation to use the vaccine for all age groups comes after authorities recorded 31 cases of a rare blood clotting in the brain among the over 2.6 million people who had received the shot by Monday.
