Denmark to decide on AstraZeneca vaccine next week

COPENHAGEN: Denmark will keep its two-week suspension of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine and decide on its future use next week following more investigations, the head of the country's health authority said on Friday, as several European countries resumed its use.

"We need time to get to the bottom of this," Soren Brostrom, head of the Danish Health Authority said at a press conference. "We need to dig deeper into these rare conditions, described both in Denmark and other countries, look into causal relations and see if there are other explanations," he said.
