Several European countries suspend COVID vaccinations
Many countries across Europe and into Asia are suspending their COVID-19 vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine. These moves come on concerns over the formation of blood clots in some people soon after being inoculated. Several people have developed pulmonary embolism, where the blood clot in the legs has broken off and traveled into the lungs, and a few have died.

On Monday, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain were the latest nations that suspended the vaccine’s use, deciding to rely solely on Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. Last week Denmark, Norway and Iceland, followed by Ireland, paused their vaccination programs. In Denmark, a 60-year-old woman, according to health authorities, died after a blood clot led to a pulmonary embolism. A woman in Bulgaria died after her vaccination. Ho
