AMSTERDAM, March 14 (Reuters) - The Netherlands will suspend
the use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine until at least
March 29 as a precaution, the Dutch government said on Sunday.
The move, which follows a similar decision by Ireland
earlier in the day, is based on reports from Denmark and Norway
of possible serious side effects, the government said.
Three health workers in Norway who had recently received the
vaccine were being treated in hospital for bleeding, blood clots
and a low count of blood platelets, its health authorities said
on Saturday.
