Oxford-AstraZeneca: Denmark suspends vaccine 'as a precaution' - BBC News

Denmark and Norway have temporarily halted use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine as a precaution, after Danish reports of some people having blood clots after vaccination and one death.

The EU medicines agency has emphasised there is no indication the vaccine had caused blood clots.

It said the number of cases in vaccinated people was no higher than in the general population.

Several European countries have now stopped using two batches of the drug.

AstraZeneca said the drug's safety had been studied extensively in clinical trials.
