German Chancellor Angela Merkel received her first shot of AstraZeneca’s (AZN.L) COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, her spokesman said on Twitter.
“I am happy that I received the first vaccination with AstraZeneca,” the Twitter post quoted Merkel, 66, as saying.
“Vaccinations are the key to overcoming the pandemic,” she added in the quote.
Germany’s vaccine regulator has recommended limiting the use of AstraZeneca’s vaccine to those aged over 60, citing risks of a rare clotting condition.–Reuters
