Denmark Halts The Use Of AstraZeneca Vaccine

Soren Brostrom, the Danish Health Administration head has said that Denmark has completely stopped the use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine.

Brostrom however said at a press conference in Copenhagen on Wednesday that the vaccination campaign will continue without the shot from the British-Swedish company.

Denmark had temporarily suspended vaccinations with the AstraZeneca shot on March 11 as a precautionary measure and has not resumed them since then, even to a limited extent as other countries have done.

The reason for the halt were isolated severe cases of blood clots – and even suspected deaths – in people who had previously been vaccinated against Covid-19 with the AstraZeneca shot.
