Berlin (dpa) - The federal and state health ministers want to hold a special meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss how to handle the vaccine from the manufacturer Astrazeneca.
The Berlin Health Senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) announced at noon.
The Standing Vaccination Commission wants to make a new recommendation.
In addition, a current assessment of the Paul Ehrlich Institute is expected, said Kalayci.
In Germany, cerebral vein thromboses in women became known after vaccinations with the Astrazeneca preparation.
On Tuesday, the state of Berlin stopped vaccinations with the preparation in people under 60 as a precautionary measure.
