Earlier this week we reported that Austria had stopped injecting people with AstraZeneca’s experimental COVID vaccines after two nurses developed blood clots, with one of them dying.

Another death due to blood clots following injection of the AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccine was reported in Denmark, prompting Denmark to also suspend vaccinating people with the current AstraZeneca COVID vaccine.

Earlier today, Denmark’s health minister Magnus Heunicke tweeted that the health authorities in Denmark were conducting a thorough investigation into the issue.

Several other countries have now followed Austria and Denmark’s precautionary actions, and also stopped the roll out of AstraZeneca’s experimental COVID vaccines.

Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Iceland and Italy have all reportedly stopped their plans to use the AstraZeneca vaccine.
