AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Dutch health minister on Thursday said the Netherlands would resume using the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine next week now that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said the shot is still safe after a review.

The minister, Hugo de Jonge, said at a press conference that the Netherlands would resume vaccinations at “full steam” next week.
