(Alliance News) - Denmark on Wednesday announced it would stop using the AstraZeneca PLC Covid-19 vaccine altogether, becoming the first European country to do so over suspected rare, but serious, side effects.
Despite recommendations from the WHO and European medicines watchdog to continue using the vaccine, "Denmark's vaccination campaign will go ahead without the AstraZeneca vaccine," Danish Health Authority director Soren Brostrom told a press conference.
AstraZeneca shares were up 1.5% at 7,270 pence in London on Wednesday.
