April 9, 2021:-The British government and health experts in the country are rushing to defend the COVID-19 vaccine by AstraZeneca, and the University of Oxford follows concerns over a link to blood clot.
On Wednesday, the health and vaccine regulators of the U.K. issued guidance on who should receive the dose. According to them, anyone under the age of 30 should receive an alternative vaccine while concerning that it could rarely lead to a severe blood clot.
Following a safety review of the AstraZeneca vaccine, sparked by concerns over reports of rare blood clotting disorders in a small number of vaccinated individuals, the U.K. and European medicines regulators stressed that the benefits of the jab are greater than the risks.
On Thursday, the U.K. health secretary said that the risk of a blood clot after taking the AstraZeneca vaccine is the same as on a long-haul flight. He said the safety measures surrounding the vaccine were robust and enabled regulators to “spot this infrequent event.”
The U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has received a first shot of the vaccine, said that “the best thing people should do is look at what the MHRA say, our independent regulator, that’s why we have them, that’s why they are independent. “Their advice to people is to keep going out there, get your jab, get your second jab,” he said on Thursday.

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.
