Denmark is completely halting the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine, Danish Health Administration head, Soren Brostrom, said.
Brostrom 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.
This is as a precautionary measure and the country has not resumed them since then, even to a limited extent as other countries have done.
Reasons for the halt were isolated severe cases of blood clots and suspected deaths in people who had previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 with the AstraZeneca shot.
