Johnson & Johnson said it remains committed to supplying 200 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine to the European Union, Norway and Iceland.

Earlier Tuesday, the European Medicines Agency called for a warning about very rare blood clots but said the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.

J&J said it will update the Summary of Product Characteristics and Package Leaflet. "Healthcare professionals will be alerted to the signs and symptoms of thromboembolism with thrombocytopenia, as well as the appropriate course of treatment," the company said.
