French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday he would gladly accept being inoculated with the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine if it were offered when his turn comes.
"In view of the latest scientific studies, the efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been proven," Macron told reporters after a virtual European Union summit. "My turn will come, but I've got time. If that's the vaccine that's offered to me, I will take it, of course."
Macron had caused dismay in Britain after being quoted earlier this year as saying the shot appeared "quasi-ineffective" among those over 65.
