Statement from the Irish Cancer Society on the resumption of AZ vaccinations

The review of the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) which deemed it safe and effective and resultant Government clearance for the resumption of AZ vaccinations in Ireland will come as a welcome relief for many cancer patients.

The EMA review will prove very important in providing confidence to patients in the safety and effectiveness of the AZ vaccine.
