Slovenia on Wednesday suspended Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccination as it probes the death of a 20-year-old woman. Thousands started gathering for a protest against vaccination in the small European Union nation.

The suspension will be in place until experts examine whether there is a link between the woman’s death from a stroke and the vaccine she had received two weeks earlier, said Health Minister Janez Poklukar. The one-dose jabs have grown in popularity in Slovenia after authorities widely introduced Covid passes, including for going to work in all state-run firms. The government has approved the purchase of an additional 1,00,000 J&J doses from Hungary in response to the growing demand. — AP
