Denmark has temporarily banned the use of the vaccine from AstraZeneca as a precautionary measure. This decision of the authorities was announced in his Twitter -account by the Minister of Health of the country Magnus Heunicke.
As noted, this is due to reports of blood clots in vaccinated people. “Vaccination [with] AstraZeneca has been suspended as a precaution following a signal of a possible serious side effect in the form of deadly blood clots,” the minister wrote. At the same time, he stressed that the exact link between the administration of the vaccine and thrombosis has not yet been established, and stated the need for a thorough investigation.
