A trial of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine on children has stopped giving out jabs while the UK's medicines regulator investigates a possible link with rare blood clots in adults.
Prof Andrew Pollard from the University of Oxford told the BBC there were no safety concerns with the trial itself, but its scientists were waiting for further information.
Around 300 volunteers signed up.
Earlier, PM Boris Johnson said people should get their jab when invited.
More than 31.6 million people in the UK have had a first vaccine dose and a total of 5.4 million people have received a second dose.

However, I would like to think that the number of lives saved by having this vaccine will by far outweigh the people who may suffer blood clots of whom a few may lose their lives. Therefore, as things stand, I will have no hesitation in taking the second jab, when offered.
I hope most people follow my line of thought and let's get back some normality!

The acceptable level of death with vaccines is a lot less than it has been for a year

I'm sure the overwhelming majority will be fine with the vaccine, and hopefully no other side effects.
I'm not sure though how you equate your line of thought, most taking the vaccine, and then getting back to some sort of normality. This will not happen while the people just acquiesse to Government mantra and fear.
I could be a mile away here but it does look to me like lemmings walking over a cliff.
