Madrid residents line up for AstraZeneca shot despite blood clot link

MADRID - Madrid residents were broadly confident about AstraZeneca's coronavirus shot on Wednesday despite European and British regulators finding a potential link between the vaccine and rare brain blood clots.

"If you read any package leaflet for any medicine, there are always problems for a small number of people," said Pilar Garcia, waiting in line to receive an AstraZeneca shot outside Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano soccer stadium, which is being used as mass vaccination centre. "I think this is the same thing."
