According to DR's information, the authorities are now assessing that AstraZeneca should be removed from the vaccination program.

According to DR's information, Denmark will stop vaccinating with AstraZeneca. At 2 pm, the authorities will hold a press conference where they will tell more about the vaccine. This morning, the parliamentary parties have been informed of what assessment the authorities have reached on the situation right now.

On March 11, the National Board of Health put the AstraZeneca vaccine on pause due to requests for more serious cases of blood clots, decreased platelet counts and bleeding. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has since concluded that there is a likely link between the rare blood clots and the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Here in Denmark, we know that one Danish woman has died after she was vaccinated with AstraZeneca. In Denmark, 595 have been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, while 149,890 people have received the first dose out of two.
