COPENHAGEN: The Danish government decided on Thursday to continue its suspension of the
AstraZeneca
Covid-19 for three more weeks.
Denmark
paused the use of the AstraZeneca as a precautionary measure on March 11 after reports that a 60-year-old woman died with blood clots in several parts of her body a week after she received the vaccine, according to health officials.
The death of a second person in Denmark who died after getting the AstraZeneca vaccine was reported shortly after. Danish health authorities said they have no evidence the vaccine was responsible for either death.
Norway
and
Sweden
also have paused the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Several European countries that had suspended using the vaccine have resumed administering it after the
European Union's drug regulator said it was safe.
