April 5, 2021:-There are signs that Europe’s diverging and changing its usage rules when it comes to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot, and the University of Oxford is sowing more confusions among citizens.
Not only have EU citizens had to contend with a barrage of negative sentiment toward the vaccine, even from top officials themselves, but they’ve also seen the doses suspended by over a dozen European countries with the concerns over a small number of reports of blood clots.
Following safety reviews of the data, the European Medicines Agency and World Health Organization recommended continued use of the dose, saying its benefits outweighed possible risks. But the fears are still present, with confusion now reigning over which age group should, and can, take the vaccine.
On Tuesday, Germany suspended the use of the AstraZeneca shot in all people below 60, citing renewed concerns after a small number of reports of severe blood clots. Earlier this week, some Berlin hospitals had initially stopped vaccinating women below 55 with AstraZeneca’s dose.
Germany had only permitted the vaccine to be used in the under-65s initially, as there was not enough data to show it was safe and effective for the elder citizen. However, it reversed that decision in early March.
On Wednesday, Spain also decided to extend the vaccine to essential workers over 65 years old. Until then, the vaccine had been restricted to the 55-to-65 age group but will now be available to priority groups in that age group like health workers, police officers, or teachers.
In France, the AstraZeneca vaccine was not permitted for the over-65s in the beginning, with French President Emmanuel Macron, now criticized for his armchair epidemiology by many French commentators erroneously that the vaccine was “quasi-ineffective” for the over-65s.
Regarding administering the second vaccine dose to younger people who have already received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, Germany’s vaccine committee said it would issue guidance on the matter by this month’s end.
Only 10% of Europe’s total population has received one vaccine dose to date, and 4% have completed an entire vaccine series, according to data compiled by WHO.
The United Nations health agency has described the region’s vaccine rollout as “unacceptably slow.”

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
