The EMA says the AstraZeneca vaccine is a safe and effective option to protect citizens against Covid 19.
It follows a meeting of Europe's health regulator to review the data on blood clots developed by a small number of people in Europe after they were vaccinated.
The use of the jab was suspended in a number of countries, including Ireland, over blood clotting concerns.
The EMA could not rule out definitively a link with particular blood clotting and will start an awareness campaign.
However the Executive Director of the EMA , Emer Cooke, reiterated the organisation's view that the benefits of the jab outweigh the risks of side effects.
