Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca has announced the global withdrawal of its Covid-19 vaccine, Vaxzevria, citing a surplus of newer vaccine options as the primary reason. The company has voluntarily withdrawn the "marketing authorization" for the vaccine within the European Union, and similar applications are expected to be made in other countries where the vaccine was approved. The decision comes amidst ongoing legal battles faced by AstraZeneca over allegations that its vaccine, developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford, led to fatalities and severe injuries, including Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS). #AstraZeneca #astrazenecanews #vaccinenews #WorldNews #pharmaceuticals #pharmaceuticalindustry #COVID19 #coronavirus #vaccine #VaccineSideEffects #withdrawal #TTS #trendingnews #viralnews #virals #healthandwellness

The ripple effects of this withdrawal could be significant. Healthcare sectors will face immediate impacts, including shifts in vaccine supply chains and potential increases in cost as providers and governments transition to alternative vaccines. This will also influence investment in pharmaceutical R&D, potentially slowing down the innovation of new treatments. Moreover, the economic implications extend beyond healthcare. For eg, insurance industries might need to adjust their risk assessments and policies regarding vaccine coverage and compensation. There could also be impacts on global travel, especially if vaccine requirements shift, affecting tourism and business travel sectors. Overall, while the direct health implications are paramount, the indirect effects on global economic stability and sectoral operations will also merit close observation as the situation unfolds. #HealthcareIndustry #EconomicImpact #VaccineConfidence
UK-based pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca is withdrawing its COVID-19 vaccine globally, days after acknowledging in court documents that it can cause a rare and dangerous side effect. The company had earlier accepted a connection between the vaccine and Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS), a condition marked by unusually low levels of platelets combined with blood clot formation. However, calling the decision "purely coincidental," the pharma giant stated that the vaccine is being withdrawn due to a "surplus of available updated vaccines" since the pandemic. "As multiple variant COVID-19 vaccines have since been developed, there is a surplus of available updated vaccines," the company said. AstraZeneca said that the surplus had led to a decline in demand for its vaccine, known as Vaxzevria since 2021, which is no longer being manufactured or supplied. According to a Telegraph report, The vaccine can no longer be used in the European Union after the company voluntarily withdrew its “marketing authorisation”. The report said the application to withdraw the vaccine was made on March 5 and came into effect on May 07, 2024. Similar withdrawal applications will be submitted in the UK and other countries. #vaccine #pharmaceuticals #pharma #india #covid19 #company #Indianstartupnews

Pfizer vs Sanofi The following dispute is not about a coronavirus #vaccine, but about Pfizer's pneumococcal vaccine 💉 and the associated #intellectual #property rights. Sanofi filed a #lawsuit against this in the USA because it was obvious and therefore not new. This has now been confirmed by the application of the result-effective variable doctrine in the obviousness analysis, so that the #patent was and remains declared invalid. (https://lnkd.in/ecaMFf89) Further #proceedings will follow to determine whether the court has correctly applied the burden of proof. These proceedings are still pending. However, it is clear to see that #competition for patents on vaccines is fiercely contested internationally. It remains exciting to see how this dispute between the pharmaceutical companies will develop. Stay curious 😉

The recent announcement by AstraZeneca, a pharmaceutical company based in the UK, to globally withdraw its COVID-19 vaccine due to reported side effects, has led to the Serum Institute of India revealing that it ceased production of Covishield in December 2021. The decision was made in response to a decrease in demand for the vaccine and the emergence of new variants. A spokesperson for the Serum Institute of India stated that with India achieving high vaccination rates in 2021 and 2022, along with the appearance of new mutant strains, the need for previous vaccines has significantly decreased. As a result, production and distribution of additional doses of Covishield have been halted since December 2021.

Mainstream news reporting. Pfizer Says They’re ‘Deeply Sorry’ For Violating 5 Regulatory Codes And Illegally Promoting Their Vaccine. "According to the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority, Pfizer promoted unlicensed medicines and violated a total of five regulatory codes. The pharmaceutical giant has been accused of "bringing discredit" to the industry after employees promoted the COVID-19 vaccine across social media during the height of the pandemic.
