The AD5-nCOV vaccine, also known as Convidecia, uses the adenovirus type-5 – a harmless cold virus – as a vector to deliver instructions for human cells to produce part of the coronavirus that can trigger the immune system to recognize and attack the actual virus. Vaccines developed by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) have the same mechanism but use different adenoviruses – a chimpanzee adenovirus and adenovirus type-26 respectively.The AD5-nCOV vaccine, also known as Convidecia, uses the adenovirus type-5 – a harmless cold virus – as a vector to deliver instructions for human cells to produce part of the coronavirus that can trigger the immune system to recognize and attack the actual virus.

Several European countries briefly suspended the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine last month after reports linked it to fatal cases of blood clots.

The use of the J&J vaccine was suspended in the US and South Africa this week after blood clots were discovered in six recipients in the US, one of which died. The company said that the dangerous condition was found in an extremely small number of people who received the vaccine – six cases from among more than 6.8 million administered doses – but it decided to delay its rollout in Europe until a review is completed.The use of the J&J vaccine was suspended in the US and South Africa this week after blood clots were discovered in six recipients in the US, one of which died.
