SAO PAULO/RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) -Brazilian states halted vaccination of pregnant women on Tuesday after a death in Rio de Janeiro led health regulator Anvisa to warn against the use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine for expecting mothers.
Asked about the suspension, AstraZeneca said in a statement that pregnant women and those breastfeeding were excluded from clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine. Studies in animals did not produce direct or indirect evidence of harm regarding pregnancy or fetal development, the statement added.
Which begs the question...if a certain section of the populace, i.e pregnant women, were excluded from the trials, why wasn't that important piece of information disclosed?
