Nanoparticles?

Does it use nanoparticles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.38.189.222 (talk) 20:02, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

This page is not a forum to discuss the topic. It does insofar as a virus is a nanoparticle; viral vector vaccine. Pabsoluterince (talk) 21:59, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
We're talking about nanoparticle lipids obviously. So, does it use nanoparticles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.38.189.222 (talk) 22:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
The virus it uses as a vector is an adenovirus, which is nonenveloped, meaning it doesn't have a lipid envelope (unlike enveloped viruses, like the coronavirus). Which means the answer is no. 188.159.240.15 (talk) 13:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Verifiability issues

It's in category "Withdrawn drugs" but I can't find any sourced content in the article regarding its alleged withdrawal. (t · c) buidhe 04:37, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Nothing about it here, and the implication is it's being used in parts of the world where the mRNA ones are tricky to store. Bon courage (talk) 05:20, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
It has been banned in at least Australia. I'd assume the distinction between banned and withdrawn is to be made, as the manufacturer didn't make this decision. Moreover, I don't know how we treat that category when it has only been withdrawn from some markets (see Nefazodone for a similar instance for withdrawn from some markets and available in others).
That being said, perhaps the category should be reassessed now. Kimen8 (talk) 17:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Developer

Should we change the developer from Oxford University to Jenner Institute? Pro translator (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Apparently withdrawn in EU entirely now?

??

Reuters says: "AstraZeneca to withdraw COVID-19 vaccine globally, Telegraph reports". Big if true, I guess (?) jp×g🗯️ 21:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
