The title of the article might lead someone to think that it's being withdrawn because of the side effect. This is not the case, as explained towards the middle of it. AstraZeneca is withdrawing its initial monovalent vaccine because it has been superseded and is no longer manufactured:
> “As multiple, variant Covid-19 vaccines have since been developed, there is a surplus of available updated vaccines. This has led to a decline in demand for Vaxzevria, which is no longer being manufactured or supplied. AstraZeneca has therefore taken the decision to initiate withdrawal of the marketing authorisations for Vaxzevria within Europe.
