Germany's capital Berlin on Tuesday suspended vaccinations with the AstraZeneca jab for under-60s amid reports of further cases of blood clots among people who had received it. 

"We are provisionally stopping vaccinations with AstraZeneca for under-60s," said the city's health minister Dilek Kalayci, adding that it was a "precautionary measure" while the city awaited an official recommendation from federal health authorities.
