Denmark, Norway and Iceland Halt AstraZeneca Vaccinations over Blood Clot Fears

Copenhagen, March 13 (RHC)-- The U.S. recorded 62,000 new coronavirus infections and over 1,500 deaths over the past 24 hours, as governors from a number of states continue to roll back public health measures -- despite warnings by health officials.

In Europe, Demark, Norway and Iceland have suspended use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after reports of severe cases of blood clots — and one death — in vaccinated people.  It’s not known if the vaccine caused the clots, and European Union regulators say the vaccine’s benefits continue to outweigh its risks.

Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that Biden administration officials have denied requests to ship millions of stockpiled doses of AstraZeneca vaccine from Ohio and Maryland to countries desperate to use them — even though the vaccine is not approved for use in the United States.
