 Two weeks ago, Denmark was among the first countries in Europe to
temporarily suspend the use of AstraZeneca's vaccine after a small
number of reported cases of rare brain blood clots, registered both
in Denmark and elsewhere.
The government briefed the Danish parliament about the continued
suspension Thursday morning, TV 2 said.
The Danish Health Authority, which originally announced the
suspension, is expected to announce their decision about the vaccine
at a press briefing 11:30 GMT on Thursday.
