Denmark Records One Death, Two Cases Of Illnesses After AstraZeneca Shot
Denmark on Saturday confirmed the death of one citizen from the effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination.
The deceased and one other person had fallen seriously ill with blood clots and cerebral haemorrhage after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination.
The two, both hospital staff members, had received the AstraZeneca vaccine less than 14 days before getting ill, the authority that runs public hospitals in Copenhagen said.
The Danish Medicines Agency confirmed it had received two “serious reports”, without giving further details.
There were no details of when the hospital staff got ill.
Denmark, which halted usage of the AstraZeneca vaccine on March 11, was among more than a dozen countries that temporarily paused the use of the vaccine after reports of cases of rare brain blood clots sent scientists and governments scrambling to determine any link.
Some countries, including Germany and France, this week reversed their decision to suspend the use of the vaccine, following an investigation into the reports of blood clots by the European Union’s drug watchdog.
EU said on Thursday it is still convinced the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.
AstraZeneca, which developed the shot with Oxford University, said a review, covering more than 17 million people who had received its shots in the EU and Britain, had found no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.
